Mr. Rowell's obituary has added some much needed info on my Rowell research but I have a couple of questions maybe someone on the list can help me with. I've had John Rowell's father as William Herbert, Sr. rather than Herbert William. I also had William Herbert as having a brother named Whiteman now I'm wondering if it should be Whitman instead. If anyone knows the family and can set me straight I'd appreciate it! Robin On Thu, Jul 16, 2009 at 7:27 AM, <PAPrice3993@aol.com> wrote: > > RIDGEVILLE, S.C. - John W.

The SC GenWeb moved recently (the old site still has a pointer) to http://sciway3.net/scgenweb/ At the bottom, it shows a copyright of 1997-2009 by Victoria, so I assume that means she is still active.
