Rod, I have sent off my membership dues & address etc to Helena Roth so I shall be hearing shortly from her. I have spent a great deal of time over the past few weeks on the Bigelow Web site & it is just wonderful. I especially like the history about
the family members. I think I have traced my family connections back correctly,perhaps you can confirm them for me. I start with John (1) like all else,then Samuel 2, Samuel 3,Cornelius 4, Paul 5, Cornelius 6, Hiram 7,Charles 8, Melissa 9, Caroline 10, Russell 11(my father) Enid12 (me), Charlene & Douglas 13 my children)and I now have 6 grandchildren gen. #14. I hope this is correct. I will send this information to you complete with births,marriage & death dates in the future if this is what you would like to continue the family lines. Many Thanks for this website I know the work it must entail. Your cousin somewhat removed Enid C.Othmer Harlow Email deharlow@globalserve.net

Great page. I have found much information on my Mother-in-law, Lila Leclair's ancestors, daughter of Elizabeth Mallish and Norman Leclair. By the way, Margaret Bigelow and Edward Mallish had some children that where not mentioned in your page. Beside Elizabeth Mallish mentioned above, and Louisa, Rhoda, Mima and Stanley, there was Nellie (Robert Donaldson), Ethel (Allen Smith), Betsy or Betty (? Parent), and Victor Mallish.
Now, I need some help on my father-in-law Frank (Franklin) Bigelow. He is the son of Thomas Arthur Bigelow and Ruby Smith. Frank's siblings are: Evelyn, Dorothy, Kenneth, Reginald, Lezetta and Henry.

Franks's father, Thomas Arthur Bigelow (1897-1953) siblings are: Earl, Garnet, Archie, Wellington, Noble, Ella (Walter McGarry), Verna (Alton Bourne), and Mamie (Charles McGee).

Frank's Mother, Ruby Smith siblings are: Gladys (Earl Bigelow, brother of Thomas mentioned above), Ethel (Jack Devine), Lorne, Pearly (Male), William. Some of the spelling may be off.

Thomas Arthur Bigelow's father was Mat (Probably Matthew) Bigelow, married to Dean (Spelling?) Lonsdale. He possibly died around 1930.

Sorry if the spelling is off as this was given to me verbally. All persons mentioned above lived in Buckingham and Glen Almond Quebec. Any help would be appreciated. http://www.cyberus.ca/~lemay
