Dear Shelley,
It occurred to me that many of us may be related in some way to this
photo. Have you considered posting this photo at a website such as
www.ancientfaces.com or on the
www.rootweb.com message board under the
CHAMPLIN board. Perhaps this would get more exposure this way and
find the CHAMPLIN family you are looking to connect with somewhere.
Thanks.

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Fred & Minnie
WHEELER of Salamanca, New
York. The photograph was probably taken in the 1870's with the children
appearing to be 6-10 years old at the time it was taken. Based on limited
research I believe that they are the children of Alexander WHEELER and Maria
FURMAN. Fred WHEELER was b. 8 Mar 1867 in Steamburg, NY and died 20 Mar
1915 and Minnie WHEELER was b. 6 Oct 1868 in Steamburg, NY and married John
H. CHAMPLIN on 4 Feb 1896 in Randolph, NY.
The family can be traced through the census records as follows:

Maria S. WHEELER, age 25, Keeping House, born NY
Fred WHEELER, age 3, born NY

Alex WHEELER, age 49, born NY, a Railroad Engineer, parents born MA
Marie WHEELER, wife, age 34, born NY, Keeps House, parents born NY
Fred WHEELER, son, age 13, born NY
Minnie WHEELER, dau, age 11, born NY

I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that this wonderful old
treasure can be returned to its rightful place with family. If you are a
member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me.
