Descendant note:
After looking at some family photos, I found that my great-grandfather was Wilbur Bigelow from Newton, Iowa (born 1870's?; died 1936 in California). I think his father was Lowell Bigelow, possibly from Iowa....
Wilbur & Elizabeth (Harsh) Bigelow had an only child, Charles, b. 1900's. Charles married Faye (Carter) Bigelow and had an only child, Thomas Alan Bigelow, b.1931
Thomas married Betty (Davis) Bigelow and had an only child, me (Brett Carter Bigelow, b.1964)continued reply::

I know Wilbur & Elizabeth lived in Cour d'Alene, Idaho sometime before moving to Pasadena, CA.  I also have a couple pictures of Elizabeth with her sister-in-law Lillian (Foster) Bigelow, Earl's wife.

It may take some time, but I should be able to get birth and death and marriage dates for the relatives between Lowell and myself.
