Hi All I have been helping someone with searching in the state of Massachusetts recently....and during this time I located a search site where you can find birth/death/marraige for relatives living in the state of Massachsetts. Since Boston was a large immigration Port and many Irish came thru there ...I realised that there may be some of you interested in this site. It covers the years 1841-1915. It is the Archives site and you can obtain copies of documents thru them. Here is their page.....at bottom is search button. Good Luck and I hope it helps someone. _http://www.sec.state.ma.us/arc/arcsrch/VitalRecordsSearchContents.html_ (http://www.sec.state.ma.us/arc/arcsrch/VitalRecordsSearchContents.html) An important note...if you have the mans name and find it....by entering just year, and town (info from man's) you will get maiden name of wife! I know many prob already knew that lol....just think of it as another "light bulb" moment for me! LOL Sue in NY **************Create a Home Theater Like the Pros. Watch the video on AOL Home.
