D.A.,
Yahoo's people search lists 3 Robert/Bob BIGBEES. They live
in Joplin, MO; Marcola, OR; and Stillwater, OK. Does Harold's
obituary say where his son lived? Mary Hamilton is too common
a name to check without knowing what town she lived in.
If you have Harold's obituary, you might want to write to the
funeral home to get a copy of his funeral record. It might
include the addresses/phone numbers of the children if they
were the ones making the arrangements.
The Social Security Death Index doesn't have any Herman BIGBEEs
listed. Could he still be living? Yahoo's people search show's
only one Herman Bigbee; he lives in Dayton, OH. (Go to
http://people.yahoo.com to get the address and phone numbers of this
Herman and the Roberts mentioned above.)
The SSDI lists two Robert BIGBEEs who were residents of
Indianapolis:
Robert BIGBEE - b. 19 Jul 1929; d. 4 Apr 1998
Robert BIGBEE Jr. - b. 28 May 1947; d. Jul 1979
Write to the library in Indianapolis to get the obituary
for the Robert who died in 1998, and see if it looks
like he's part of the family. It should mention surviving
relatives who you can contact.
Good luck.
Kerry

A distant cousin of mine, Harold Edward Bigbee, died in Indianapolis
in 1986.
His mother and my great-grandfather were siblings. I am looking for anyone
with any ties to his family. He had two children living at the time of his
death, Mary K. Hamilton and Robert T. Bigbee. I would appreciate it if
someone could get me their addresses.
Also, two of Harold's uncles, Herman and Robert lived in Indianapolis in
1965, according to my great-grandfather's will and probate file. I know that
Herman was alive in 1971, because he was on a guest list for my parents'
wedding.
I would appreciate any help.
