Im relatively new to Ancestry and have found a connection with Isabella and William Gowans who you have added details of. Im connected to their son John Gowans who remained in Scotland once they emigrated. Do you know why they moved to the USA leaving their family behind? Also are you connected to them? Thanks for any information you have. Derek 04:07 PM MAY 3 DB Can i sent you my tree to check? 06:36 AM TODAY Sorry for not responding earlier, Derek; I just returned from a trip. I'd be glad to look into this for you, with you. You could send me your Tree as an attachment to email, wetzupdoc@me.com either as a gedcom or as a ftmb file, not knowing how comfortable you are with these things. I am only very distantly related to them; I am not a blood relative. They are maternal grandparents of the wife, Margaret Donaldson Higley of a 2nd cousin, Ransom Luther Higley of the wife, Anna Belle Higley Nelson of a brother, Clayton Ernest Nelson of an uncle, Maurice Clifford Swift of the husband, Alfred Adelbert Swift of my 1st great aunt, Eva Snyder Swift. Like I said, not very close but close enough to be in my Tree. You may have noticed, I have only one child of theirs, Anna. I've got some work ahead of me here. Sincerely, john Delivered, 09:12 PM Jump to latest message
