Features Genealogy Links - General genealogy links and links of special interest to Wilds, Daggetts, Swede-Finns and other branches of the family 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 the Doggetts and Daggetts in her ancestry, and how they made their way from England to Martha's Vineyard to Maine to Minnesota. The last of them, her father William Smith Daggett, has a particularly interesting story. He was a United States deputy marshal and 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, laborer and erstwhile soldier. In the 1860's and 70's, he lived in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada with his wife Rose and family. During that time, Michael appeared in the local newspapers dozens of times - and Rose appeared occasionally as well. Those newspaper articles, together with other family history about Michael Ryder, tell an interesting story of a feisty, charismatic, imperfect man. Contact I am Janice Mattson Gallant, great great granddaughter of Casimir Wild. This website is based on genealogy work done some years ago by my mother, Joyce Mattson nee Wild. Without her efforts then, this site would not be here today. Another invaluable resource has been the wonderful book "A Family Called Wild", edited by Dr. Jim Wild in 1989. Please feel free to contact me with comments, corrections, additions, questions, or just to say hello to a distant cousin. My email address is stitcher@gmail.com. And ask me to send you a login for the site. There is much to enjoy here without a login, but a login will allow you to view even more information. I would especially love to hear from you if you have old family photos, letters, obituaries, newspaper clippings, or other information -- including new additions to the family tree. I hope that you enjoy your visit. Jan |
