My Grandfather did a search one time and told me that Jim Bowie was my fourth Great Uncle and I was excited and proud because I love Texas and what the seige of the Alamo provided for me and my ancestors. However, I did a little research on Unka Jim later and found out the he, along with most "adventurers" back then, wasn't the pick of the litter so to speak but it took those kinds of MEN to tame this country and I'm proud to be a part of the family.
