CONGRATULATIONS, A job well done.

Eve this is awesome, with a full time job, and a son at home, I can only imagine this take a lot of sleepless night, but I thank God for you, and for giving you the wisdom and strength to create a family website, this is beautiful, and I think we should all keep it going, as Jennifer stated in her e-mail, I think everyone should pitch in and help maintain this site. After reading it brings back a lot of memories.

Thanks

Eve may God continue to Bless and keep you.

CONGRATULATIONS

Kathi,

Thanks for your positive feed backs and your continued support! Over the last 7 months you have been there cheering me along and listening. Most importantly responding to my multiple phone calls/emails no matter how late I reached out to you. Only you could/would put up with my tenacity, as I gather all the information to complete the Owens family Website.

When I get tired, your voice and your "enthusiasm" gave me the momentum to finish this project. THANKS for being a FRIEND!

Jay- Keeping The Family Informed

Hello family,

I don't usually send out government intelligence information, but in thiscase I think it's well worth it for the public to be aware. Please open theattachment and either click on the link or copy and past in your searchwindow. There is a company called INTELIUS that's selling peoples personalinformation for under $3.00. Without paying a penny I was able to view myname, and see the names of my immediate family. You need to print the page with your name, circle your specific name, andwrite INTELIUS a letter mandating them to remove all your information from their web-site and computer systems.

Take care, and hope to see you all in Jamaica

Nichol's News- Baby Bundle of Joy

Congratulations Nichol!!!! Yes, we welcome more Owens offspring! This is a BLESSING maybe the baby can be named after your great, great, grandfather/gramdmother ( Alexander & Marian:) I am just kidding:)

Folks
This type of information should be on the BLOG so we can keep all this joy and excitement!

Jen ROCKS- Excited about the Owens Rich History

Thanks Jen, how ironic is that you live on Bay Farm Road in California. Aunt Elsie the family matriarch made all this possible!!!! The stories are priceless!! I cant wait to swim in the Broad Stone River, eat the sugar cane and the roast breadfruit!!!! YES!!

Eve

Nichol's News- Baby Bundle of Joy

Jen ROCKS- Excited about her rich history

Wow Eve!! this is absolutely beautiful. You know, we all know so much about our immediate grandparents but not so much about the other siblings. the history is amazing. Just read Aunt Elsie's bio and it said that she had her dressmaking parlor in Bay Farm Road. Well that stuck out to me because I live on Bay Farm island in California - just a little thing but still ironic with such an unusual name! My mom talks about Broad Stone River all the time. My kids even know about it. Can't wait till we get to JA to wade in those waters :-) Good job Eve. The site is fantastic. Everyone, let's all pitch in and help maintain this site. Gather your pictures and add to the rich stories. Also, as you know, nothing is free, so please please please try to make a financial contribution to the maintenance of the site. It's tooooo beautiful, rich and important to let die.

Love you all, Jen(California)
