The 2006 Reunion is scheduled for Ft. Atkinson, Wisconsin Aug 11,12,13. At the Reunion in Oregon, I was appointed to take
over Don Bigelow's Official Page and the remainder of his term as one of
the directors. I hope I am up to the task. I am now maintaining Don's
Bigelow Family Page so
visit there for more information. You can sign my guestbook, to leave comments,
or send email to Rod Bigelow at < rodbigelow@netzero.net >.
You will notice the Index and Bigelow Index above. There are 2 major publications
that The Bigelow Society has published over the years: The Bigelow Family
Genealogy, Volume I, and Volume II. Volume I was based on Gilman Bigelow
Howe's Bigelow Family of America, and covers Generations 1 through
6. Volume II covers Generation 7 through 8 and part of 9th generation. The
members of the Society have throughout many years invested their time and
more in this research. We hope by publishing this information on the internet,
free of charge, and answering any and all requests for further information,
to attract more members to our society and more. Part of the more, is more
complete information about Bigelows and other familys that we haven't heard
from yet. I think the internet is the way of the future and offer this challenge.
If you find our ideas and information helpful, please join and/or buy our
publications. They are real bargains in this day and age and we promise
to continue our research and share with all. Contact me for publication
prices and contact our treasurer to join.
