[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 421946, member: 59"]Okay, let's see if I can explain this clearly. Gwyneth Bernice Rowe - whose ancestors are in the 2 pictures - was the daughter of Joseph John Rowe and Sophia Bertha Holombo. Sophia Bertha Holombo was the daughter of Hansen Holombo and Anna Maria Johnson. (both born in Norway.) Hansen and Maria Johnson Holombo had several other children, including a daughter named Annie Natalie Holombo. (Your grandmother who married Leonard Carl Hoffman in 1925.) Annie Natalie Holombo and Sophia Bertha Holombo were sisters, so Gwyneth was Annie Natalie's niece and some degree of cousin to you. Joseph John Rowe was the son on James T Rowe and Jane Phillips - all 3 of them were born in England. His ancestors are not your ancestors. If these pictures were identified as Holombo ancestors of Gwyneth, then they would be related to you. But they're not Holombos, they're either Rowes or Phillipses.[/QUOTE]
