Mowbray Family Groups
We have been able to reconstruct many of the Mowbray birth, marriage and death records into family groups, which are available to family members in the form of Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) files. To obtain one, go back to the Home Page and e-mail David Mowbray

It is likely some of these groups have an earlier, undocumented, common progenitor. Probably they group as follows:
|
1A,
1B, 1C, 2, 13 and maybe 7 |
|
4,
16 and possibly 5, 6 and 18 |
|
9
and 15 |
This is where the DNA project would thro light on the connections Two or three volunteers are needed from each group to establish a baseline signature for each group, so that the group signatures can be compared.
