Ray Bowers's picture

Welcome to the Bowers Forum...

This is Ray Bowers. I started Bowers.com back in the mid 90's and I have been saying for years that I wanted to revamp the site and make it more interactive... Well, I finally did it.

This area is for people to post messages regarding anything Bower(s)-Bauer(s) related, such as:

  • Genealogy - Want to talk family trees? need help establishing family connections? tips on where to go to research your roots?
  • Ray Bowers's picture

    Are you looking for someone?

    Soon after I set up Bowers.com, I started to get e-mails from people just to say "Hi, I am a Bowers too!". Then over time, as the internet really started to help people network and research their family tree, I started to get e-mails asking, "Are we related" or "I lost track of ____, do you have any information on him/her?"

    I eventually set up a Guest Book so people could post their enquiries and let other people read through them. However, the guest book got to be quite bit after a while and information was buried in there with no chance of anyone finding what they were looking for.

    Selby Bowers

    Hi I am Pierre Le Bas born and lived in NZ till two years ago. I am now living on a Narrowboat in the UK. In the last ten years I have traced back my "Le Bas" family to 1400 from France through Jersey to NZ. Now I am trying to branch out to my Father's female side and my mothers both sides. One of my mothers side goes back to my Great Great Grandmother Selby Bowers born in Hale Surrey in 1857. Her Parents were Walker Bowers born Haslemere Surrey and Maria born Chiddingford Surrey. I have the 1871 cencus that tells me of all the family living in Walkers household on that day.

    Bowers in the Philadelphia Area

    I was born at Hannemann University Hospital in Philadelphia in 1964, and was placed in foster care, along with 2 aunts and an uncle. We were separated; I was placed in a foster home in Collegeville, my aunts were placed in the Philadelphia area, and my uncle was adopted out and moved to Florida. My mother's name is Ruth Ann Bowers; I have no idea who my father is. I have been actively looking for family for quite some time with no success, so now I am posting this in hopes that someone will step up and lead me in the right direction to finding my family.

    Searching for Elizabeth Bowers Born 1889 Missouri

    I am trying to find out any information about Elizabeth Bowers who was born in Missouri in 1889. Her parents were David S. Bowers also born in Missouri and Mary Ann Odineal Bowers born in Virginia. The Bowers moved to Texas in the late 1890's. Elizabeth married Ance Jone around 1904, moved to Oklahoma and had two children, Olive and Paul. Elizabeth apparently died before 1910. I can find no records of her marriage or her death. This may be due to her living in Oklahoma before statehood.

    Cora Bowers-Richmond/Caroline Co. Virginia

    Greetings. Like so many others posting to this forum I'm searching for information about the Bowers family. The research I've conducted to date confirms that my earliest American ancestors entered the country through Jamestown/James City, Virginia in the mid 1600's. Many settled in present day Caroline County/Greater Richmond, Virginia.
