Subject: Re: [CHAMPLIN] WHEELER - CHAMPLIN Family Photograph
Did you find this family? I don't recognize it right off the top of my
head,
but Robert Champlin in Canada would.
I'm a Champlin, and my father was born in Salamanca in 1928. He's
multi-generation
from the Little Valley/Salamanca area, so I'm sure if I pressed it, I could
find out
what exact line this Wheeler family is.
Let me know what you find out if you don't mind. Do you have a digital
image
of this photo?

Subject: [CHAMPLIN] WHEELER - CHAMPLIN Family Photograph
Ive rescued an old photograph of Fred & Minnie WHEELER of Salamanca, New
York. The photograph was probably taken in the 1870s 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:

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.
Thanks,
