The weekend starts..............

on Satuday morning, usually.

It certainly did for me last weekend. I'm still buzzing. I slid down the stairs at about 10.00 (late for me) and checked the post. Lo, there was a death certificate waiting for me. I had taken a chance and sent for it on the off chance that this was my great uncle Pierce Bowen. Happy, happy, joy, joy, it was him and I had a reason why I had been unable to find him before this. He was called John Pierce Bowen! This now made even more sense as it underlined the possibility of my Bowens being from the JerryJohn Bowens. Later that same day, I did a search for Jeremiah Bowen again and happened upon a family in Kinsale who could have been his second family. Although I have no proof, it does seem a possibility that these are my family as the dates all match so well. On Sunday, I discovered that Kinsale and that close area was a hotbed of Bowens at the turn of the century.
