Hi, Johnny...I'd like to invite you to join the Eastern Washington Genealogical Society group here on GenealogyWise...even if you're not a member of the society. I think that staying abreast of genealogical news in the Spokane area will be helpful, and you can always ask us questions about research. Many of our members do NOT have ancestors from this area, but our genealogy library at the downtown branch of Spokane Public Library has LOTS of resources from around the US, Canada, and many other countries. We're going to have a huge conference at the Davenport in September...and the public is welcome. Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak, Chief Historian of Ancestry.com and creator of RootsTelevision will be our main speaker. We'll also have other well-known genealogy figures attending. Hope you'll consider attending!

Cheers!
Miriam

Most of our society's meetings are free and all are open to the public. We meet Sep - June, usually the first Saturday of the month in the meeting rooms on the main floor of the downtown library. I'll remind you when the next one comes up.

Hi John,
Thanks for the add! My Lowry family came to Pennsylvania via Delaware in 1776. My direct ancestors stayed in Northeastern PA until my grandparents and my father moved to Western New York.
In checking my file for the names you mentioned, I got excited, as I have a James Arthur Lowry, born 23 March 1901, died July 1969, son of Robert M. Lowry (1872-1950) and Mary Veronia Williams (1876-1977). Close, but no cigar.
My direct lineage is:
George Lowry, died 1770, married Margaret Lowry died 1812, m 1745
Hugh Lowry, died 1828, married Mary Harvey, born about 1740
William H. Lowry, 1802-1879, married Eliza Sherrick (1810-1892)
William Thomas Lowry 1835-1903, married Lydia Jane Gibson (1844-1884), m 1864
Joseph Arthur Arnold Lowry, 1880-1949, married Alice Jane McDonald (1882-1964)
Joseph McDonald Lowry, Sr., 1913-1994, married Mary Lenor Long (1913-2002), m 1935
Joseph McDonald Lowry, Jr.

All the men but George and Hugh were born in Pennsylvania. Hugh and his brothers and their mother came to the US after George's death.
Do you have ancestors in NY or PA, or just the southern states? Mine are said to have come from County Down, Northern Ireland - how about yours?

Hey...small world isn't it..... Maybe we can find a crack in that ole' William Henry Lowry's parents here....Let's hope anyhow.

Hi Johnny,
I managed to upload one picture. Trial bases you know. Big help. Are the albums different from pictures? Also, can you add 100 pictures total, or is that albums.
Thank You,
Jeanne
