These names don't ring a bell in my mind...although I have a whole line I haven't been able to find.SOWA became SOVA in my line.
You mentioned Texas...are these names from a Texas line of SOWA families who immigrated to that state in 1855-1857?
Can you tell me when these people immigrated and from where?
MMine immigrated in 1855 from Poland. My direect line settled in Milwaukee, WI the years 1855-abt 1869, then NE for about 2-3 years, then in KS for the rest of their lives.
Another line supposedly went to CO and/or NE.
Does sound familiar to you?
Wish I could have helped you.
