I have added your line at the Bowes (and variants) One-Name Study website. We had only known of Irish and English origins (maybe also German) for the name Bowe, so I was intrigued to learn of a Norwegian one! I added to http://www.bowesonenamestudy.com/findings_2/origins/norwegia... . Also to http://www.bowesonenamestudy.com/findings_2/origins/immigran...

Would love to have you in our DNA project to compare markers with those from England and Ireland having Scandinavian DNA http://www.bowesonenamestudy.com/dna_project_pages/ Could also help you turn up matches to further your research.
