Good evening to you...
I am a novice at the genealogy game, so hopefully I've given good information.
I am a Bigalow, but can't confirm the connection to the Bigalow family tree limb - Need Help!
Assumption - Jane ???? (Smith) Bigalow married Edward Richard(?) Hall (b. 1850's in CT) in CT, Michigan or Illinois(see below)

Facts:
1) My grandfather is Edward Bigalow Hall of Winnetka IL (b. 1886 in Ishpeming MI)
2) Our family middle names are maiden names of women marrying into the Hall line.
3) We possess a family tree of Bigalows/Warrens going to England and France - dated 1897 But no one knows where it came from or how long we have had it.

Problems:
1) Was the Jane that Edward R Hall married a Bigalow?
2) She isn't mentioned on the genealogy although she must have been born in the 1850's
Is there a resource that might clear this up for me? Or has anyone know of this Jane Bigalow or Edward Hall?
Thank you for your assistance. Very gratefully...

Hi Rod,
I am wondering if you would like information on the descendants of Anna Searle Bigelow, the eldest daughter of Dr. Thomas (6) Bigelow.  She is my great-great-great grandmother.
