Jerri,
This is so great! I always felt like my Bowser family was the only one
around - what a wonderful surprise that it is such an extended family.
I grew up in Meyersdale, Somerset Co., PA. Dad's parents lived in
Berlin, but came from Bedford Co. near Cessna.

This is my line:

1. Mathias Sr. m. Esther ? (b. 1670)
2. Mathias Jr. m. Elizabeth Edelman (b. 1711)
3. David M. Catherine Elizabeth ? (b. 1738)
4. John m. Mary Helm (b. 1784)
5. John H. m. Catherine Berkheimer (b. 1829)
6. William m. (1) Sara Claycomb (b. 1860)
7. David Ross m. Emma Fisher (b. 1892)
8. William E. m. Louise Glessner (b. 1926)
9. Me

Have you seen the "Bowser Family History" by A.B. Bowser?
