An acquaintence sent me a URL regarding the baby boy who was found in a field after the tornadoes that hit the Southeast this week and wondered if it was a relative. The little boy was a Stowell. <http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,329513,00.html>http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,329513,00.html I'm wondering if anyone knows this branch of the family and how they might tie in?

Another year is drawing to a close. We've seen some good times and some bad times, happiness and sadness. Sometimes these are mixed leaving us wondering. Some may have lost loved ones or are near such an event. Some may have new ones coming into their lives. I suppose for most it has been a mixed bag year. We wonder what the new year will bring in it's bag - hope, joy, sorrow and a whole host of emotions no doubt. This note is to wish each of you a good closing of the books for 2007, a better opening in 2008. As of this evening this list has 50 members in what appears to be 3 countries. Years ago my grandmother saved several postcards sent to her in the early years of the 20th century. Some of these are presented for your enjoyment classified as Christmas and New Year's Day cards. http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ga/state1/cards/chrstmas.htm http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ga/state1/cards/newyears.htm Tim Stowell Chattanooga, TN

JEST 'FORE CHRISTMAS Father calls me William, sister calls me Will, Mother calls me Willie, but the fellers call me Bill! Mighty glad I ain't a girl---ruther be a boy, Without them sashes, curls, an' things that's worn by Fauntleroy! Love to chawnk green apples an' go swimmin' in the lake--- Hate to take the castor-ile they give for bellyache! Most all the time, the whole year round, there ain't no flies on me, But jest 'fore Christmas I'm as good as I kin be! Got a yeller dog named Sport, sick him in the cat; First thing she knows she doesn't know where she is at! Got a clipper sled, an' when us kids goes out to slide, 'Long comes the grocery cart, an' we all hook a ride! But sometimes when the grocery man is worrited an' cross, He reaches at us with his whip, an' larrups up his hoss, An' then I laff and holler, "Oh, ye never teched me!" But jest 'fore Christmas I'm as good as I kin be! Gran'ma says she hopes that when I git to be a man, I'll be a missionarer like her oldest brother, Dan, As was et up by the cannibuls that lives in Ceylon's Isle, Where every prospeck pleases, an' only man is vile! But gran'ma she has never been to see a Wild West show, Nor read the Life of Daniel Boone, or else I guess she'd know That Buff'lo Bill an' cow-boys is good enough for me! Excep' jest 'fore Christmas, when I'm good as I kin be! And then old Sport he hangs around, so solemnly an' still, His eyes they seem a-sayin': "What's the matter, little Bill?" The old cat sneaks down off her perch an' wonders what's become Of them two enemies of hern that used to make things hum! But I am so perlite an' 'tend so earnestly to biz, That mother says to father: "How improved our Willie is!" But father, havin' been a boy hisself, suspicions me When, just 'fore Christmas, I'm as good as I kin be! For Christmas, with its lots an' lots of candies, cakes, and toys, Was made, they say, for proper kids an' not for naughty boys; So wash yer face an' bresh yer hair, an' mind yer p's and q's, An' don't bust out yer pantaloons, and don't wear out yer shoes; Say "Yessum" to the ladies, an' "Yessur" to the men, An' when they's company, don't pass yer plate for pie again; But, thinkin' of the things yer'd like to see upon that tree, Jest 'fore Christmas be as good as yer kin be! - Eugene Field

"genetic genealogy" :) It does have the advantage of possibly saving ya both a lot of time and expenses in the long run :) When comparing the 12-marker test results from the "correctly corresponding" male participant on both of your family lines that you think might have a common "direct male line" ancestor ... this will be the litmus test, IF there is any remote chance of a connection :) The Y-DNA is pass from father to son, generation after generation, with "maybe" a slight mutations every once in a while ...
