Hi Mary,
I was born and raised 6 miles from Bowlus and went there many, many times but never met Martin. However, I do have a lot of info on th CZECH genealogy. If you contact me direct at the e-mail address above and give me your snail-mail address, I'll be glad to send you a packet of what I have (approximately 1700 names). And I would appreciate it if you would send me your list.
