Previous Updates to This New Additions Page

March 2018

ancestry.com became even more ruthless this year and took down all the servers which it had acquired from rootsweb for 'security' reasons.  After making one excuse after another they finally admitted that they wouldn't be bringing the freepages sites back up again. I was forced to migrate my site to another provider.  However this did allow me to register my own choice of domain name so after 3 months of being unavailable it is now back up as  bowlesfamilyhistory.ca

Dec. 15, 2017

My apologies for not updating this page regularly as I have rather neglected it since I created it in 2009. 

Note: You won't be reading this right now as my site is currently 'not available' due to some security problems experienced by ancestry.com which bought the assets of rootsweb a few years ago with the understanding that they would continue to support the freepages servers.

These are the pages which have been added or significantly changed in the past 2 years (March 2015 - December 2017):

(note: the pages in blue and underlined are links to the new pages; those listed but still in black type are pages that I was ready to publish but still needed some fact checking or some new information came to light which I wanted to add to those pages before publishing, sorry about the backlog, I'm a bit swamped but I'm getting to them)

No changes were made between 2013 and March 2015 due to family health problems.

I cannot track the changes made to the site between 2009 and 2013 due to the site having to be completely rebuilt in 2013 after a catastrophic site failure in 2009 thanks to Microsoft.
