Welcome to my site.  I’ve been researching my family genealogy since 1999, and I’m happy to share.

Here’s the most important link: my WorldConnect Family Database.  many other items are available on the menus above.  I do have many offline materials (mostly electronic), thousands of photos and documents, so contact me by leaving a message below if you would like to see if I have more.  Sending me a link to the person in my Worldconnect database is the best way to tell me who you’re interested in.

    Hello, Tina. Thank you for leaving comments on our blog, murphies.blogspot.com where I have occasionally written about what little I know of the history of the Wickham family. My mother was a descendant of Mortier Lafayette Wickham and Pruda Erway, the granddaughter of their daughter Catherine Wickham, known as Cassie. I’d like to correct an error about Catherine/Cassie that appears here and elsewhere. She did not marry E.D. Holden of Boston; that was apparently her sister, Carrie or Caroline. Catherine married Frank Lowe, a farmer of Hector, and lived there with him, first on the family farm in Hector, later in Trumansburg, and finally in Painted Post with her daughter Mrs. Edwin Hardy Ober. I’ve seen old newspaper articles about visits between Catherine Wickham Lowe and her sister, Mrs. Holden of Boston — and also articles about visits with your ancestors, the Carrs of Batavia. The error appears to originate in the book “A Biographical Record of Schuyler County,” dated 1903 — at least, that’s where I’ve seen it — but error it is, perhaps coming from the similarity of the names Carrie and Cassie. It’s probably too late to correct the record everywhere, but I thought I’d try it here!
