Research helps for those studying Bower families in the Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania area.
"I have extracted census, military records, and queries from several sites on the web and have put them all together. I have included email addresses or web addresses, so you can look at them first hand. I have also included listings from the Family Tree Maker's Family Archives on the 1850 Census.
