COWZER FAMILY GENEALOGY

This started out as an idea (which I have had for at least twenty years), but has been spurred on by contact with fellow researchers over the internet. Having very recently moved from a vague understanding of my great grandfather (Thomas 1859), to a fairly complete understanding of my great great grandfather (John 1813), and all his descendants, this project has now moved to having three objectives :

• Document the relationships of all the Cowzers everywhere (not such a big task given the uniqueness of the name).
• Explore the ancestors prior to John, and the relationship with the other, more common, spellings of Cowser, Couser, and others.
• Explore the origins of the Cowzer name. Most popularly we believe it is of German origin.

This research is the work of the following people :

• Elaine and John Moore and daughter Jenny in Britain.
• Ann Gilkes in Australia.
• My father Michael in Dublin (for his local family knowledge).
• Doreen Cowzer in Belfast, who has the Cowzer Family Bible and has provided a wealth of information which would have been impossible to source elsewhere.
• And assistance from many others.

If anyone has any additional information, or has any queries, please e-mail me at Alan and please bear in mind that this is very much a work in progress, there will be mistakes and for those I do apologise, but if you see a mistake please tell me about it.
