A Jumpstart, Pls?
Good Morning,
My name is Dennis Wing and was wondering if someone could possibly give me a "jumpstart" on my geneaology as there SO MUCH info to pour over. My primary motivation for this info, aside from personal knowledge, is that I have two children (adopted) who've since grown up and have had children themselves and I wish to teach my grandbabies a little bit about their family heritage.
Ive queried my aunts in the past but Ive since lost the info and because of the 1000's of miles between us and because of their age, more such queries would be very inconvenient.
Im posting this specifically because Ive noticed a few recognizable names at this website (such as Graham, Dale Wing - possibly my Dad's Cousin, Harry Wing).
My grandfather was Arthur Wing, of Rumford, Maine. He was married to Bertha Graham.
There is/was a family of Wing's in Peru, Me., who may be descendants of my grandfathers brother(?), as Ive seen pics of a few of them many years ago and theres a very strong resemblance.
I recall pics and talk of:
An Auto factory in Rumford around 1900;
A Wing shot down in WWII flying over Lichtenstien (sp?);
Visits to Nova Scotia or PEI;
References to Albany NY (birthplace of my Dad, Cole Wing)
As mentioned, my grandmother was Bertha Graham. As a school kid I did some research and learned the following:
The General store in Rumford Center (formerly "Richardson's) was built and owned by John Graham;
The one-room school house that I remember standing in my backyard as a kid on the Andover Rd in Rumford Center was named the J.G. Graham School.
