Updated 14 September 2024 To help find family connections for the BOWLES of all spelling and variations. By joining the group you agree to provide the project with 3 things. 1) The surname of the person being tested. 2) The name, date and place of birth of the oldest researched male ancestor of your male patrilineal line and the oldest researched female ancestor of your matrilineal line. 3) Permission to publish the DNA results and the names, dates and places of birth of the oldest known patrilineal or matrilineal ancestor. This project is set up to help those with the Bowles surname, or any of its variants, to determine if they share common ancestors. Both males and females are welcome and the best results will come from the highest of the available tests.
