This is a group for researchers of the BOWLES family in all its many spellings, including: BOWLS, BOULDS, BOOLES, BOAL, BOLD, BOWLE and any others that I've not come across yet (Please let me know), who have at least some relations from the UK.

I've started this group to honour the incredibly dedicated researchers that I've come across who, through their hard work, have traced my branch back to the early 1600s. I'd like to personally thank you all, though shan't name you all in case I miss someone or embarrass you. I hope that it will be place where all researchers of the name, particularly with origins in the UK, can come and share what data, photos and stories they have.

**If you wish to join please include enough about your interests so I know you're not a Spammer. Don't go wild, you'll need to say it all to the group once you've joined.**

Please treat other members research with respect and if you have any critisms or comments, then please first approach them directly to discuss. Do not share any personal data for living members of your, or other people's family, on the group. We need to be conscious of identity theft and respecting other people's privacy where necessary. If common sense prevails, we can't go far wrong, so no more rules I think.
Please do tell other researchers about this group if they have any interest in the BOWLES line. All welcome, though there is a membership requirement to keep spammers as much at bay as possible.

Looking forward to meeting with and sharing with you all.

**Please note I take no personal credit for all the hard work of others, and start this group on their behalf to acknowledge what they have achieved for all of us.**
