View Full Version : Bowleg Residents in The Bahamas AmericanGal 11-19-07, - 12:41 AM Hey! I live in Miami, Florida but I have family in the Bahamas in Free port, that I'm looking for. Do you know anyone in Free port with the last name of Bowleg? Also, do you know a female named Fredreka? I don't know Fredreka's last name but she lives in Free port. The rest of my family has the last name of Bowleg. I have a relative name Ed Bowleg. Please respond here or email me at wright9@juno.com if you know any! Thanks! AmericanGal 11-19-07, - 12:45 AM Also, doing research, I saw something to the effect that the Bowlegs in the Bahamas are of Indian ancestry. I am very black so if you know any Bowlegs, please specify their race..

Do you know what part of Bahamas they live in? The Bowlegs are descended from Red Bays, the only settlement on the western shore of Andros Island. canewry 11-19-07, - 07:01 PM No froggy, I's a white Rolle!
