Hello Gail. Since writing that original message I have probably come a long way I think. I would love to see your connections to the Bowns and Keirles. Go to my web site at . Take the 'Family History' link to see my information. Please write to me at the email address on that web page.I am no longer with Compuserve. Look forward to hearing from you.
