It has been our goal to make available to everyone the information we
have gathered during the past 25 years of research on the Wickersham
family. The best and most lasting way to do this seemed to be to
publish a book of the work. Widespread distribution of the book
will help to insure that the Wickersham story is available to future
generations. This has been a labor of love by volunteer Wickersham
genealogists who have given freely of their time, talents, and
resources for many years to compile the book. We are grateful to so
many individuals who have spent so much time and energy on Wickersham
family history at their own expense to make this book possible.
You will find on this site information from the book on Thomas the
immigrant who came to Chester County, Pennsylvania from England in
1700 with his new wife and three children from a previous marriage.
It was from this small beginning that the Wickershams of America began
their American saga. We hope you will take this information and enjoy
it.
Also, on the site, you will find a list of the surnames associated
with the Wickersham family, photographs of Wickershams, links
and a vital records repository. We welcome your submissions of
additional photos and vital records. (Please note that submission
does not guarantee acceptance.) As time permit we hope to also add
bits of Wickersham history, especially about famous Wickersham family
members.
In addition, we administer the Wickersham Message Boards at
Rootsweb/Ancestry.com. We hope you will take full advantage of this
query board where you can make contact with other Wickersham
researchers.
Even if you are not a serious genealogist we believe you will enjoy
the book and this website. We bid you "Welcome".
reetings and welcome. If you are a Wickersham genealogist, we hope you
will find this site to be a valuable resource. Our goal is to act as a
clearing house for Wickersham information to facilitate your family
history search. You will also find information here about our new
book, The Wickersham Family in America, currently available
from Heritage Books, Inc.
