You might want to look a bit closer because there are quite a few sources posted. For example: Clement J. SHEERAN, Helen Louise GOWER, Cora STRONG, James Carl GOWER, Arthur Collins GOWER...

Oh, you must be Alice - I just noticed that I have several e-mails from that day which I never read. I think that was about the time that I was in the hospital. I obviously still haven't finished catching up. :(

Yes, some of your more recent sources are posted, and I thought you might have much more in stacks of photocopies and papers/files offline, but it is just so much work to enter all that data in addition to all the names, dates and places and get them linked together properly. It's so late here, I'll have to look at it some more tomorrow, I switched out of gen mode for the summer and carry so much of it in my head in addition to my gen program, but if I don't work with it for awhile, I have to kind of refresh my memory and try to pick up where I left off.

Thank you for acknowledging my email. I thought you did say somewhere back then that you are sometimes too busy to answer emails. I figured with all that interesting info you must get deluged with people like me asking questions.

Sorry you were in the hospital. I will look at those names more closely. I'm just an amateur at this, and learned the hard way from my betters that I'd better be more careful about sourcing my information which I just copied and pasted early on. Now I try to be more careful, but have been informed that there are different categories of sources, like some old family notes of mine where I've hit a brick wall are just "clues", nothing more, wouldn't be accepted by professionals. Sometimes "clues" are all you get and are lucky to get those :-).

Nite. And thanks again. I am probably related to you, too lol. Not that I would wish that on anybody being related to me :-).

Oh that other guy who said he wrote you from the Plantagenet group is Kevin Bradford; he's got a lot more blue blood than I do :-). That's not why I got into this at all but you get so far back and start finding out things. I found out my sister is married to her 10th cousin. Lots of fun stories I've had with that, don't have any Mayflower ancestry myself nor ever found any connection to any presidents. One I can claim is Ethan Allen but only the cousin removed thing.

But if you are right, maybe there's a lot more for me there I didn't know about.
