I am researching my wife's paternal tree. Her father is Malcolm H Gowell and currently lives in Lynchburg. He doesn't know much about his ancestry and unfortunately neither does his siblings. I do know that his mother's name was Lelia B. I looked up Gowell in the 1950 Census substitute for Virginia and came up with a Frederick H Gowell (Only Gowell in the directory) with a wife of Lillian B. This makes since as one of Malcolm sisters is named Fredericka (She goes by Ricky).
Anyway, any help would be appreciated. Thanks
