Birthdays: June 20 - June 26

Welcome to the Cowey/Cowie Family Tree. Emma Louise Ockochinski, born June 1, 2010. Emma wil be a brother for Leland, born in 2006.

I've spent time on the birthday calendar. I hope to give the generational connection, and any interesting historical facts about those who have left us. I won't give away any info about those who are still with me. If you are able to contribute to this blog, please do. Correct my facts, add info, add photos. This is for the 21st century genealogists.
Hope to see you at the 170th Anniversary gathering of the Cowey/Cowie family in the Harwood Community Hall, Sunday, July 4, 2010. Arrive about 12 noon.

One of our goals this year, to celebrate the 170th Anniversary of our family's arrival in Canada, is to have an historical display area at the Harwood Community Hall, a mini-museum. Tables will be set up for such displays. If you wish to contribute on July 4, give us advance notice and we will reserve a table for you, and have a display board ready with photos of your ancestor.
