Communication Preferences: I am interested in communicating private message with cousins and anyone else with an interest in genealogy. Here is my family tree.
I’d also appreciate any help with researching Her Majesty’s East India Company (HEIC) registrations / enlistments late 1790 - 1810’ish.

My paternal 3x gGrandfather John Snodgrass was a Major, but unfortunately there is confusion with with other John Snodgrass’s around that time who were also in the HEIC. Please reach out if you think you can help.

Biography

Australia flag
David Towler was born in Australia
Scottish flag
David Towler has Scottish Ancestors.
David Towler has Irish ancestors.

Born in Australia, my ancestry is primarily Scottish and Irish.

Although my surname is Towler, my father Walter was born to Merton Oakes Snodgrass and Charlotte Mary Snodgrass (nee Seeley).

Charlotte died a few days after Walter’s birth, and Walter was given to his aunt Hazel Mabel Towler (nee Snodgrass) to raise, and was subsequently adopted.

Hazel had married Thomas Joseph Towler, and they were childless.

I would welcome any relative to then become profile manager and continue this labour of love which I started so many decades ago.

Hi David,

Thanks for taking responsibility for the Orphaned profile of Fanny Boylan. This After Adopting Orphans FAQ explains the special attention adopted profiles will sometimes need from their profile managers. One quick way to find the profiles you adopted is by searching your Contributions List for the word "adopted" and "manager." You can find a quick link to your Contributions List in the My WikiTree dropdown menu.

If the profile needs GEDCOM cleanup, the AGC tool can help with formatting so that you can concentrate on the research. You can read more about it in the WikiTree AGC FAQ.

You might be interested in some of the tips and tricks that we have included in the How-Tos that we share with new members these days. They were created long after you became a member so you never received them.

If you have any questions about how WikiTree works, let me know by using the "reply" link for this comment or by clicking my name to visit my profile. From there you can leave a comment or send a private message.
