Hi Judith,

As an African American researching my famiy roots, I totally agree with you 
that we should put a great deal of concentration on tracing the EuroAmerican 
side as well. 

My family oral history gave me the name of the slaveowner as the father of my 
gr gr grandfather. As a matter of fact, the name Lowdnes happens to be the 
middle name of the son of the slaveowner in my line.

Not too long ago, someone emailed me where the name Lowndes and Chevis came 
From. I can't remember right now and the letter in put away in my genealogy 
notebook.

Anyway, enough of that. Just wanted you to know.

THERE IS HISTORY IN OUR ROOTS!!!

Lines being traced are: NESBITT AND DODD
