The Widom Family

Back in 1998 my husband gave me the unusual birthday gift of a domain name, widom.com. So now I'm the unofficial caretaker of a Widom Family Home Page. I've primarily listed email addresses and linked to home pages of the Widoms I know personally. I also threw in a few interesting links found when searching for "Widom" on the web -- rumor has it that all Widoms are closely related.

Home Pages and Email Addresses

• Benjamin Widom, widom@vdwaals.chem.cornell.edu

• Harold Widom, widom@ucsc.edu (Ben's brother)

• Jonathan Widom, j-widom@northwestern.edu (Ben's older son)

• Michael Widom, widom@andrew.cmu.edu (Ben's younger son)

• Elisabeth Widom, widome@muohio.edu (Ben's daughter)

• Barbara Widom Wilson, bwidom@hotmail.com (Harold's older daughter)

Other Links

• Allan Widom is my second cousin (Ben and Harold's father's brother's grandson), also an academic.

• Mark Widome (mdw4@psu.edu) uses a different spelling but is also a second cousin (a grandson of a different brother of Ben and Harold's father), and he's been working on a family tree. Mark is a popular pediatrician with a book for parents.

• Three Widom siblings are lawyers in Miami: Glenn Widom (widom@sghpa.com), Mitchell Widom (mwidom@bilzin.com) and Ilisa (Widom) Hoffman. I'm not sure of their precise relationship to me (third cousins? second cousins once removed?), but they are the great-grandchildren of yet a different brother of Ben and Harold's father.

• Bud Widom stars in the 1968 hit, The Green Slime.

• Ben and Harold were members of the Stuyvesant High Math Teams in 1944 and 1948, respectively.

• Widom's dream comes true in Alaska.
