Surnames: POWELL Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WOBBAIB/5226 Message Board Post: Fellow Powell seekers - I must read through at least a dozen messages a day that come into my mailbox, and I have yet to find anyone who is researching Powells in New Jersey. Is there anyone out there with information on this branch of the family?! My g-grandparents were Samuel and Margaret (maiden name unknown) Powell who were born abt. 1872 & 1873 respectively. Their children's names were: Anna, Esther, Lillian, Robert, Benjamin and Horace. I have what available information there is in the censuses, but that doesn't help me break the brick wall down that will enable me to learn more about my Powell family. If anyone has any info, or any ideas as to how I could learn more about these people, please help! Thanks a lot, and good hunting! Jeanne
