I have a Family Bible- on one page it states Grandmother Baldauf-this Bible is from my Bower ancestors-I believe my GGGM Elizabeth Bower b. May 20, 1819- in Germany- town/village unknown-she married John Bower b.October 23, 1823- both are buried in Stony Point, NY-interestingly enough the Bower's were also linked to Pittsburgh, PA - Allegheny County-there was a second spelling of Bauer/Bower-they changed the name for business purposes-they imigrated from Germany - however they said they were "high German, low Dutch"I believe around 1848-I think the ship was the David Hoadley- I am unsure if they married in the US or Germany-what I find intriging is my Great Grandfather, their son was George A. Bower.My e-mail is changing soon-my address is: 1949 Killey St, Virginia Beach, Va- phone: 757-468-9317-I would love to nail down the Baldauf line-
