Grandmother's maiden name Gowell/born Ukiah, CA. (northern California) Gowells orginate from Wales and there was a name change to Gowell from Gower. PS. There is a Gower Peninsula in Wales, and there was also a sir lord Gower, a contemporary of sir lord byron. I believe the entire lineage orginates in Wales, that along with then name name change is interesting. My descendents also came from Kittery Maine. Someone else on this board
nannie4@bigtrout.com has done a large search on the Gowells. Contact me by email. I want to know where else to search, this can't be the only place????
