I'm e mailing from South Africa. I am trying to trace my greatgrandfathers family. He was born John Alexander Clement Powell in 1874 in Port Elizabeth South Africa. The family is believed to come from England via America. Related to Walter Clement Powell and Major John Wesley Powell, the famous explorer. If you could be of some help this would be greatly appreciated. Kind Regards Hugh Powell [email protected] Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
