It has been some time since I looked at the website and have to say you are doing a fantastic job. Congratulations!
I am in the final stages of compiling my family history as it relates to the Bigelow/Purdy connection and would like to submit a few generations for inclusion on the site if you would like it.   My gr.grandmother was Jane Bigelow (8) re: George(7)Cornelius(6) Paul (5)Cornelius(4) Samuel (3)Samuel (2) John (1)

Hello Rod,
I received an e-mail message from Lois (Purdy) Martin, (a cousin of mine that I only became aware of a little over a year ago) and she
informed me that the Bigelow Family reunion was to be held in Springfield, Missouri in August.  I've been tossing around a trip with my
husband to Branson and this could easily include the reunion.  I did go to the Purdy family reunion last July in Quebec and was
overwhelmed with the number of cousins that I had no idea even existed.  Jane Bigelow (Purdy) was my great grandmother. (I think).  I
wanted to double check this, but I quickly packed stuff up for the first weekend in April (when all six of our children came home because
they missed seeing each other) and I can't find my book.
This is the first time I've logged on to the Bigelow family site and have just briefly scanned some of the articles available for viewing.
Seems like a lot of research has been done and I'm looking forward to acquainting myself with the material.
 Take care,
 Jean (Purdy) Smith
