GAYLEI am trying to research the POWELL family for my mother, who is a POWELL. This is an act of love that I wish to give my mother. I am afraid that the information I have is somewhat limited as those who would have more info are no longer with us. I do have the information on her grandparents and have reached a stone wall from the beginning. Any information you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
