I recently put something somewhere saying I edge coded William Farin Owens was not my grandfather as info on one of my fathers census reports said His father was born in Arizona, we'll, I just found another census where he sez his father was from Calif . I contacted a cousin and she feels the West Virginia guy is him, she remembers the name odell which seems connected. I found two people listed as having something to do with him, a Tennie Owens in Portland , Oregon an d also a Vinii Odell.  I now believe, putting collateral info with wiki that William Farin Owens is my grandfather.

If you click on your name above, you can see all of your questions and comments on G2G.

If you have already added your parents' profiles, go ahead and add William as your grandfather.  In the biography you can make notes about what evidence there is that he is your grandfather or not.

Hello Donald,

I made a profile for William Owens (Owens-3572) and for Carrie Myers (Myers-5440). I put links to all of the G2G postings I could find regarding William in his bio. It is incomplete but there are clues and some records to follow. I connected his Carrie's Myers line to another in the 1600s. You can check the sources and add more as it is just a start. In the future when you ask about William on G2G please provide a link to his profile in the question so that all of the clues and evidence are in one place.

Let me know if you need more help, I'm here!
