I am looking for other vinnicum family members with direct ties to the vinnicum name. My Mother is Roberta Leslie Vinnicum who grew up on the vinnicum farm. As a young girl she had the opportunity to have met upon occassion Lizzie at my mothers Family farm of which we have several old photos. I would greatly appreciate hearing from other vinnicum decendents. tbren@infoave.net

Welcome!  It's an honor to have a living relative joining us!

Do you have any stories of Lizzie & clan?  We'd eat them up!

Best of luck with your search.

Welcome to the forum, TBrennan.  Good luck with your search.  In the meantime, could we perhaps persuade you to post some of those old pics you have?  It would be wonderful to see.  Do you have any pictures of Lizzie?  I'm sorry, don't mean to be pushy, but, I do so enjoy old photos.

I don't know if we have any Vinnicum's here.
I was wondering about Vinnicum's tho, earlier.
This is all I found out and where I looked:

Yea I am too and I'm looking closely at Morse so Jeffery hurry up!

I've got questions about the "Vinnicum's".

Morse introduces himself at Inquest as John V. Morse and they have to ask him what the "V" stands for.

Then we find out this is William Vinnicum whom Morse has supper with Wednesday in Swansea. (Inq.99)

THEN we find out a "Mrs. Vinnicum" is the woman who was to go stay at the farm with Abby & Andrew that summer and they all ended up not going because she was due some company from the west.  (Prelim.248)

Rebello, pg. 122 Morse WRITES to Vinnicum:
".'..When I left the house [Friday] I started for the post office. I walked down Second Street, and, stopping in, I got a postal card and wrote to William Vinnicum of South Swansea.' Fall River Herald, Friday, August 5, 1892: 4."

--There is no Bio info on Mr. Vinnicum.  There is a bit in Hoffman.
Other than that, there is no Mr. Vinnicum in Knowlton Papers Glossarys, Victorian Vistas vol. II & III, The Evening Standard papers, the Rochester papers, the assorted papers Harry has collected, and no bio in Rebello.
.......................

Anything YOU know or can share would be very helpful!

You can look in "People Search" in Yahoo. This only has telephone numbers, the e-mail addresses have all been censored.

He tbrennan.  In my last Lizzie class May 6th, one of the men there said he was an 11th cousin of Lizzie's and he had a lot of genealogy papers with him.  I do not know exactly what his line of linkage is or if it is a Vinnicum link but I do have the man's name and address.
I could send him your e-mail address if you would like if you think this might be a tie.
