Happy holidays forumites!

I ran across an interesting article on WikiPedia about a person named 'Reginald Fessenden'. Here's a link to the story:

Reginald Fessenden

Since the only other Fessenden I'd ever heard of is the maker of fine steel guitars, I immediately wondered whether these two people were related. Does anyone know?

Cheers to all!

Funny,

my wife was just telling me the other day that she heard a lecture on the Underground Railroad in Maine and a central figure was William Pitt Fessenden. Knowing that Jerry comes from Maine I was wondering if this Fessenden might be an ancestor(?)

It would appear the two Fessenden's are related after all! Another forum thread already started this topic (I missed it). Read it here.

Happy New Year!
