My cousin passed the phone around so I could collect more info for the family tree. I am in the middle of researching the Powell's and have gotten as far back as the mid to late 1800's. I'm still trying to go further back and as wide as possible. In JA, EVERYONE was related to a Powell. I even have a run-on joke that says, "If you didn't have a Powell women, you may as not have one at all.". My great Uncle married a Powell. Actually, 2 of my great uncles married Powells. There are so many in the family. If anyone would like to contact me, i can be reached at [email protected] or email me here on the site. Thanks!
