Surnames: Witscher/Gilson/Bowers/Hawk Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/WZB.2ACI/602.2.1 Message Board Post: Marcia found more about the Witscher side - and the Gilson familly - from Vermont. I found out that someone named Marion Hawk bought the farm where Albert and Mary lived, and that someone named William H. Bowers had helped to look after things when Albert went back to Germany in 1899. My email is mgoss@windermere.com
