Re: John Looney & wife ??? LLewellyn

Howdy, Brian ...

Stowell, hmmm?

We think there's a Stover wife for Robert Looney, but between John, Robert and wives Llewellyn & Stover we just can't make things add up. There are just too many Peter Looneys/Lunas (which is my line of descent) in the 1800s to be sure how to backtrack to Robert and his father John ... especially considering our uncertainty about the names of their respective wives.

I got some pointers from Clive and went to the NAMA web site. I picked up info there as to where to search, so now I'll run your suggestion of "Stowell," using Soundex, on the sites they thought might be helpful.

I've never before reached the end of one of my American ancestral lines. The resulting forced leap across the Atlantic Ocean has seemed daunting. Thank goodness that MANX genealogists are so helpful !!!
