New Note:
My name is David Bigelow, and Benjamin Franklin (7) Bigelow 16814.15 would have been my great grand-father. I received several years ago a copy of the 1986 edition of the Bigelow Family Genealogy Volume 1, as a gift from my aunt Lucille (who may have been a member because she also sent me several copies of the Forge) and a typed listing of ancestors back to John Biglo.  I’ve played around a little bit with this mostly out of curiosity, but have recently, due to a recent history project of my own, been thinking a bit more.  My father, Eugene Ashley (probably 10) Bigelow (son of Delmar (9)) is 89 and might still have information that could fill in some blanks; and I have on video tape a rather full collection of old photos that dad had compiled several years ago.  Then also, I would probably be (11); one brother and one sister, and my son (12) and daughter would all follow to bring current.  I remember my aunt Cleo and uncle Ray and Ray had two children both still in the Denver area I believe. In any event, I might be able to provide lots of information and documentation or direction to research of my dad’s family.  Can you give me some guidance on how to do this, what you would like to see?  Would this be helpful?
