tomyroots: I started in Maine and into New Brunswick beyond the Loyalist movement and into limbo...lol

vkn: African is good
tomyroots: were there any other spellings to the surname Doweary? s yes it is
Ingrid_Doweary: Tomyroots, do you have any indication whether any ancestors were indentured servants. And yes, there's dowery, dowry, dow and dowell.
alt: these would be in the Nova Scotia & New Brunswick areas tomyroots?
tomyroots: yes they would
Ingrid_Doweary: Oh okay, sounds like a different region from where I was thinking.
