Comments:
I have distant relatives named Bigelow, living in Minnesota in the
1950s. They were my mother's relatives, probably on her father's
side. He was Charles A. Wales. My mother is Pauline E. Wales Van
Breemen. I believe the connection began in Nova Scotia.
If you can give me any indication of a connection, I would be
happy.
Thanks for the information about my ancestors. My
grandfather, Charles Wales, was always something of an
enigma. According to family legend he was somewhat of
a drifter who wandered through a small town in North
Dakota and married Flora Blinko around 1905. I
remember attending their 50th anniversary party in the
mid-fifties. He was extremely handsome as a young man,
and a kind, if absent minded, grandfather to me. He
wouldn't talk about his past. That made it very
interesting, you know? Mysteries and all. Anyway, My
mother, Pauline Wales Van Breemen remembers that her
grandmother's name was Henrietta, so that places her,
and me solidly in the Bigelow family, I guess!.
You said there were some holes in your information and
I noticed that my grandfather's dates were missing. I
believe these are correct. If I find otherwise I will
let you know :
Charles A. Wales.
b. 15 May, 1885. d. Dec. 1965.
Thank you,
Dorothy Van Breemen
