I am Hallie Bigelow Greer, granddaughter of Halle Blenkhorn Bigelow, 1592C.1527. I would like to know how to update our line to include
unlisted descendants of this couple. There are at least 3 generations which can be added. thank you.
A correction on the note listed at bottom of Halle's page... Laurabel (my mother) was born in the Main Street house, not as listed.
Would like to know where pics were obtained, especially house pics as I'd like to identify person in the Blomidon house pic. Mother told lots of stories about summers here, which was called White Waters at that time. And I spent lots of time in the cabin in the lower pic, brought back so many memories!! Hallie
These photos were from the 2002 reunion in Canning, NS. Larry Baxter and Tom Taylor placed these on a CD along with Bigelow ship pictures...............................ROD
