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
The list starts with brothers Ben and Harold and moves along in
various directions from there. Sorry for the male bias.

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.
