Yes, I got to the wrong page linked by a new web friend in BC.
I'm trying to get anecdotal info about Melinda Bigelow married to Joseph Mason.

I've been given the bare bones of the genealogy, but am trying to track down any anecdotal informaion about the
family. My grandmother Alvia (Violet) was their daughter.
Thanks in advance for linking me to someone.

Rod, since I put out my enquiry I've done some research at the Anglican Archives in Ottawa and now have accurate information on the children of Melinda Bigelow and Joseph Timothy Masson. Are you interested in this?What I hope to do is write for our kids a "Legacy of Faith" and have already pretty well determined that is was Joseph Timothy Masson who switched from Catholic to Anglican before he married Melinda. I'm unclear of the Bigelow connections with the Mormon church in my direct line. At what point did the this line leave the Mormons? Ruth Douglas in Ottawa
Rod, pasted below are the correct names of the children of Melinda (Bigelow) and Joseph Timothy Masson. These are directly from the Anglican Church files. It's interesting that my grandmother's birth date is Apr. 26 and not the Apr. 24 date on all her other forms and the day on which she celebrated. I sure hope someonce responds to my initial query/posting about the anecdotal info of the Cd. Bigelows. RuthRegisters No. 333 and No. 334, St. Stephen’s, Buckingham, Quebec.

Hi!
After about 15 years I have pulled out my genealogy research and have come across my grandfather's Bigelow Society papers. Amongst them was a letter which makes reference to a second book being put together. Can you tell me if this book was ever done and whether or not I can get copies of the 1st and 2nd books? Are there more than 2 books? I am copying my genealogy and giving it to nieces and nephews and I would like to give them these books as well. My grandfather was A.A.Mason of Verdun Que, going back to his mother Melinde Bigelow, to Adam Chester Bigelow, to Adam Chester Bigelow (the 1st), to Cornelius and Persis (Harris) Bigelow.
Thanks so much for your information on membership for Canadians and the info below that you sent. I am the great grandaughter of Joseph Timothy Mason (spelled Masson in my grandfather's baptismal record) and Melinda Bigelow.
Their son Alric Adolphe Mason is my grandfather and Orville H. Mason is my father so I guess the Bigelow name stopped with my great grandmother as far as our branch of the tree is concerned. Thanks so much again for a wonderful
web site. I will be sending in my registration.
Thanks so much in advance for you help. Please send responses to this email to email address blackwood82@hotmail.com,
Yours truly,
Brenda (Mason) Steer

I came across your website when I was researching my family tree. I am the son of Doris Bigelow, daughter of Victoria Mason who was the daughter of Joseph Mason and Melinda Bigelow.
I have other info on the family tree that I have filed somewhere and will look for it.
