The Bowen family web was started as a photo album, simply a place for my nieces and nephews to have a spot where they could come to see photos of themselves, their cousins and of course me! Over time it grew mainly into a genealogical & family history site, but with the kind people at rootswebs' help, by donating free space, we are once again focusing on photos & documents to save for future generations.
There are two main areas in this Album & Archive, one for more recent photos and documents relating to my immediate family(The Photos) and an area where any Bowen's family related photos,documents or materials can be placed to store and reference for histories sake (The Archives).
In addition to these two main areas we have made a space for creative works.This Album & Archive is intended for personal enjoyment,learning & research into the Bowen family history.Please respect the wishes of the contributors by using these materials in this archive for only these reasons,therefore the downloading & copying of any materials for commercial use is strictly prohibited.
Thanks for using the Bowen family web's Photo Album & Document Archive!

Materials such as photographs and images of documents should be in a .jpg (jpeg) or .gif format.. most photo developers offer these services as part of normal development proceduresas your photos can be placed on a cd rom or disc when they are developed..these files can be e-mailed to me.if you have old documents i can scan them in, i will accept clean copies(as best as possible) but do not want the original materials as i could not guarantee them in case of loss or damage. Some files may be reduced in size for easier viewing and faster download times, in which case the original file will also be preserved and can be viewed at the option of the viewer.There are certain files I can not receive over e-mail, hardware restrictions,software compatability and files sizes of certain materials are to large. In any case e-mail me with what you have and we will work it out where you can ftp or otherwise upload directly to the rootsweb directory.
