Like most people I have a wide array of interests. Below
are links to my various interests, which I hope like minded people will
find useful.
One of my many interests is my family's genealogy. Unfortunately,
we have yet to trace the Canotes all the way back to Europe. We have traced
my mother's family, the Towles, back to England (we are one of the many
families descended form the Plantagenets). There are quite a few web pages
devoted to families to whom the Towles are related in some way. Below
are links to some of those pages.

(My brother's web site. It has a good deal of information
on the Towles side. The Canote side is still under construction)

17th century.)

The
Reade Family Line
(Mildred Reade was an ancestor of the Stokeley Towles
who lived from 1740 to 1798. In turn, the Reades can trace their line back
to the Plantatagenets.)
