1916 - Bowerman Family of Ontario, Canada, 1633 - 1916 being Descendants of Ichabod Bowerman and Lydia Mott. This is a shorter version of the above work and Lorne Shunk gave permission for his transcription to be posted on this site. This copy was dated 1916 and likely never published. It appears that Albert prepared this version that focuses on the Bowerman family from the above more extensive version.

He was an active and able genealogist who interviewed the older locals, consulted records and read widely. Much of what he records is well known but there are many gems hidden in this work.

The 1904 work contains the material for his 1904 Bull and 1916 Bowerman works and much more.
