|
Welcome
This is a genealogy site for the descendants of Casimir Wild (1827-1904) and Joseph Wild (1825-1900), brothers who were born in Sinsheim, Germany and resided for many years in Bayfield, Ontario, Canada. Besides Wild, common surnames on this site include Fahnlander, Daggett, Sinner, Etue, Ryder, and many others. Please feel free to contact me with comments, corrections, additions, questions, or just to say hello to a distant cousin. I hope that you enjoy your visit. Jan |
Features Genealogy Links General genealogy links and links of special interest to Wilds, Daggetts, Swedish Finns, and other branches of the family tree. Daggetts Dorothy "Billie" Daggett Wild (1900-1964), wife of Edward George "Ted" Wild (1892-1980), could trace her ancestry to John Doggett (1602-1673), an early Massachusetts settler. Read about her line of Doggetts and Daggetts, including a whaler, a clergyman and even a connection to the Mayflower. Dorothy Daggett's father William Smith Daggett (1864-1912), has a particularly interesting story. He served as a United States deputy marshal for several years and was a central figure in the Minneapolis/St. Paul census war of 1890. Michael Ryder (1828-1877) Dorothy Daggett Wild's maternal grandfather Michael Ryder was an Irish immigrant and laborer. In the 1860's and 70's, he and his wife Rose nee Joyce (1837-1885) lived in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada with their five children. Michael appeared in the St. Catharines newspapers dozens of times -- and Rose appeared occasionally as well. Those newspaper articles, together with other records and family history about Michael Ryder, tell a colorful story of a feisty and charismatic albeit imperfect man. Credits I am Jan Gallant nee Mattson, great great granddaughter of Casimir Wild. This website is based on genealogy work done some years ago by my mother, Joyce Mattson nee Wild (1929-2004). Without her efforts then, this site would not be here today. Another invaluable resource has been the marvelous book "A Family Called Wild", edited by Dr. Jim Wild in 1989. I would like to thank everyone who has reached out and provided me with information for this site. I would like to particularly thank Peter Etue, maintainer of the Joseph Wild branch of the family tree. And if you enjoy sewing...
