One of Carol's hobbies (addictions) is Family History.  One of the great things about traveling in a RV is that she can get to research libraries across the country.  She can also visit with distant cousins.  See the links below for some of the families that she is researching.

Donald Eugene Bowen's Ancestors, Virginia, Georgia, South Carolina
