It has been great fun reading throught all of these notes and wondering how many of you are my cousins. My great grandfather, Frank Dowling lived, as a child, in the state of Missouri, then went to Southwestern Wisconson near Platteville, where he married Nettie Cook, established a family farm. Frank and Nettie had seven children; Elmer (my grandfather) Jeanette, Ora, Ester, Leona, Foster and Warren. I know I have 2nd cousins that are still in Wisconson and also some that grew up in Michigan and in Tucson Arizona. It would be great to hear from anyone who could fill some of the blanks.
Thanks.
