Welcome to Our Family! 

My hope is to join together the Valentino and Bowns Families giving everyone a taste of  the past and a hope for our future. Our lives are on these pages, read them,  study them, and tell these stories to your children and grandchildren. Keep  the memories alive in them. The past, in its whole form, is lost. We don't know what exactly happened, just little bits that are pieced together from papers, photos and memories.

Now, this family is a large family. Not only from blood, but from in-laws and  step-relatives, which we treat as if they were in-fact blood. There have been  some marriages and re-marriages, and they are all shown, so that you can  get a broad view of where the branches lead to.

I am still in the early stages of research, but if any of you have helpful information that can fill in the blanks please let me know.

Special thanks to John Bowns, Roberta Dellarso, Michelle Henderson, Cindy Spalla, Debbie Valentino, & Freddie Valentino for all of the information & photographs they have provided.
