Purpose
Intent of this web page is to foster publication of documents and pictures of historical significance for persons with a Towey surname and his/her descendants. This gives us all a better understanding of the Towey heritage in Ireland and emigration to the United States, England, Australia, New Zealand and other countries around the world. It could be products from your genealogy research, tales of your family ancestors or even papers about your family life. Include pictures of places and people because we all know a picture is worth a thousand words. These would be documents and pictures that you would like to share and hold on the Internet - long term - for reading by Towey descendants or your family members.
Publications may be in Word, html, PDF or similar format, or even as a PowerPoint presentation. Pictures are preferred in JPG, JPEG or GIF. They should be emailed to Assistant Genealogist...Dick Towey, Oregon: toweylr@comcast.net for passing to the www.toweyclan.com webmaster:
Feel free to download or copy any document or picture with the understanding these are written based on the best memories of Towey family members, past and present, and from the best research of genealogical records, as accurate or incomplete as they may be. Similar to published historical documents and recollections of the historical researchers and writers, these chronicles and genealogies are based on available information. Accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
