New York

This page was created as a resource for all Bauer/Bower(s)/Baur researchers [and variant spellings of those surnames] searching the State of New York for their Bauer/Bower(s)/Baur ancestors. My site is just one small part of the BOWER-L@rootsweb.com discussion list's state/country project, otherwise known as the Continuum. Please be sure to visit more of the Bower Cottage's Continuum for additional Bauer/Bower/Baur, etc. research.

Additional information will be placed here as time progresses. If you have any New York Bower/Bauer/Baur material you wish to add to this site, please contact Colleen Pustola. In the meantime, I hope the few morsels currently at this site will help in your quest for Bauer/Bower/Baur [and their variant spellings] ancestral information.
