jlrNo266 on Family Tree Circles

my full name is James Lee Rowe,Jr.,born July 18th,1966 in Neptune,NJ
my father's full name was James Lee Rowe,born March 13th,1946 in
Neptune,NJ.
my mother's full birthname was Gloria La'verne Jackson,born on September 17th,1947.

(both parents are now deceased)
James,Sr. on April 4th,1988,Gloria on July 23rd,2001.


I have to my knowledge 9 sisters(three I haven't met)
and 4 brothers(2 I've yet to meet)

this journal is being written for the sole purpose to find my true
ancestry bloodlines.
most of my siblings would like to know as much as myself about our
true genealogy.

too many secrets have hidden us from our true heritage,in that,we
don't know if we have a paternal grandparent that may or may not be alive.
we never got to know our true grandparents on our father's side....
mostly due to his reluctance to deal with his own personal anger at
his parents.(my father was the product of an affair in which my alledged biological grandfather had with my alledged biological grand-
mother-Ben Rowe(whom was married to Emma Rowe)and Mozelle Harris(whom
also was in a relationship with a man named Donald Lewis).

I peace of mind with the whole situation. my daughter asked me recently about why I never had a Family Reunion-type of gathering
with my father's side of the family;couldn't give her a good answer
to go along with,because I've asked that same question a long time
ago.
so for me,it's put up or shut up.I got this ball rolling and I'm not
about to give up now.
and yet I'm humble enough to know when I'm licked.
so if there's anybody who has read my journal page living or have lived in Central NJ(more specifically,Englishtown)please help me and
my family get our Family Tree rooted.
God bless.

James Lee Rowe,Jr.
