All of the elements of this research, and the media they have been recorded on, have been labeled
DOW FAMILY HISTORY. In reality, the name DOW applies to only one family line of this research
(family history researchers tend to put too much
emphasis on their father's male family line). Many other families are represented, both in my family and the family of my wife. Although many other family surnames are
included in this research, my research has mainly centered on the
surnames listed below.
