Looking for descendants of William Bigelow and Mary Kennedy. Today I received a copy of Hobart Bigelow's SocSec app. He was born in 1902 in Canajoharie, NY and listed William and Mary as his parents on the app. Hobart was my son-in-law's grandfather. I have not given this info to my son-in-law yet; it will be a Christmas gift. I would love to make contact with William and Mary's descendants and be able to provide info on them to my son-in-law. Thanks for any help you can provide.
