Like everywhere, mosquitoes are prevalent in Michigan! Grandpa screened in the lanai which faced the lake and ran the length of the cottage. How I loved being in that area! I guess my grandparents did too because whenever they needed to meet with all their children, it would be here. The lanai held an odd assortment of furniture, none of it really matching and all of it extremely worn and very comfortable. A settee graced one end while chairs and small tables sat around the rest of the floor.

For our purposes, just as my grandparents did, our families will converge here for the Look-up Project. This project is an extension of the Bower-L, the Bowers-L, the Bauer-L and the Baur-L@rootsweb.com discussion groups. We have volunteers listed here will to do free look-ups from materials in their home libraries to help you in your quest for Bower[s]/Bauer/Baur, etc. ancestors or any of the variant spellings you'll find on the page here. Please understand, this is not a large effort as we are not trying to compete with other, larger sites whose prime goals are to do only look-ups. Rather, we are simply offering our resources of Bower[s], Bauer, Baur surnames and their variant spellings.

Below is the index to this project. If a hyperlink doesn't work, it's because there is no lookup volunteer on that page yet. The varied materials we are offering are blended into one section ... books, CDs, microfiche or film.

The guidelines are simple:

To place a query, click on the code at the end of the item you wish to receive information from. It will bring up the owner's look-up request form. Completing the form and hitting the 'submit' button will email it automatically to the owner of the resource you have selected.
