The following was posted to the Nova Scotia site and I have permission from the author to copy and post here. Please contact your legistlators immediately if you want to preserve open records in Massachusetts! Please feel free to copy to other Massachusetts lists. MASSACHUSETTS HOUSE BILL H5158 - OPEN RECORDS CLOSED! The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) initiative to RESTRICT the current and historically OPEN vital records of the Commonwealth with House Bill H5158 HAS PASSED THE MA HOUSE TODAY December 30, 2002! All that remains is the Massachusetts Senate and Exiting Governor's rubber stamp & Did YOU have the opportunity to review the text and give your testimony in HEARINGS? NO! Do you even have ACCESS to the H5158 text? NO! Behind closed doors and in the hallways of the legislature, taking advantage of the informal sessions, Lame Duck status and holidays, a handful of people have take away YOUR RIGHTS to YOUR HERITAGE! CONTACT YOUR MASSACHUSETTS SENATOR NOW! Tell them who the SILENT MAJORITY VOTERS are in their district who RELY ON OPEN MASSACHUSETTS VITAL RECORDS http://www.state.ma.us/legis/memmenus.htm CONTACT YOUR SENATORS! See http://www.state.ma.us/legis/sendis01.htm for 2001-2002 Just in case this ELEVENTH HOUR tactic actually passes to CLOSE MASSACHUSETTS VITAL RECORDS alert the 2003 legislators about YOUR CONCERNS on this matter! http://www.state.ma.us/legis/repdis03.htm and http://www.state.ma.us/legis/sendis03.htm IF YOUR LEGISLATORS DO NOT RESPOND OR ARE NOT AVAILABLE, CONTACT THE LEGISLATORS WHO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE INFORMAL SESSIONS! O'Brien, Thomas J. Rep.ThomasO'Brien@hou.state.ma.us http://www.state.ma.us/legis/member/tjo1.htm Susan C. Fargo SFargo@senate.state.ma.us http://www.state.ma.us/legis/member/scf0.htm SUMMARY: The Massachusetts Genealogical Council (MGC) initiative to STOP H5158 from passage at the tail end of the July 2002 formal sessions was successful - thanks to the response of all CONCERNED citizens in the genealogical community. Although the response of many legislators indicated that they had clearly not READ or did not UNDERSTAND the IMPLICATIONS of H5158, they did understand that large numbers of CONSTITUENTS are AGAINST RESTRICTIONS to the PUBLIC GOOD in the form of POORLY DRAFTED legislation that has had NO PUBLIC HEARINGS! However, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) has CONTINUED their efforts! Specifically: December 2002 H5158 language changes have been chosen for the purposes of OTHER BILLS that are not filed yet - Modernization and Fraud Control bills that ALSO have had NO PUBLIC HEARINGS! The MGC continues to be EXCLUDED from the permanent special vital records and statistics committee to oversee the overall improvement including preservation and automation of the vital records and statistics system in the commonwealth! Even though the MDPH has repeatedly said the MGC omission was "an oversight", this ERROR PERSISTS in the revisions! NO VERSION of H5158 has been made available to the public via the legislative web site since it's FIRST ELEVENTH HOUR introduction in the July formal sessions http://www.state.ma.us/scripts/legis/ltsh.idq?HouseNumber=5158 The most recently reported MDPH H5158 wording changes appear as attempts to clarify the previous problems, but introduce the UNKNOWN impact of the unfiled legislation PROPOSAL DEPENDENCIES! CONTACT YOUR SENATORS! See http://www.state.ma.us/legis/sendis01.htm for 2001-2002 NO CONTROVERSIAL BILL can be passed in informal sessions IF THE CONTROVERSY IS KNOWN! MAKE SURE YOUR SENATOR KNOWS THAT YOU DO NOT APPRECIATE BEING EXCLUDED FROM THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS! YOUR RIGHTS TO RECORDS TO RECORDS ACCESS DESERVE A PUBLIC HEARING! H5158 SHOULD NOT BE PASSED on DECEMBER 31, 2002! Sharon Sergeant Program Director, Massachusetts Genealogical Council http://massgencouncil.home.attbi.com/index.htm

What a wonderful year it has been with all your help. We've added over 1000 ancestors to my family tree and we owe it to all the help from unselfish people like you on these lists. Not only names have been added but stories and connections with real live long lost family members some going back to a connection 5 generations back. We hope to give back as much as We've been given. It truly is a Merry Christmas! Thank you all so much, and hope your Christmas wish has come true.

Just to clarify ... Dorchester is in Boston ... it is a township of the City of Boston. Addressing mail to either Dorchester, MA 02125 or Boston, MA 02125 is proper.

I don't the name of the church but in the 1920 census Father Francis X. Dolan's address is listed at 2221 Dorchester Avenue, Dorchester MA so this is either the address of the church or the rectory. So far can't find the church name using www.google.com Elaine

Hi folks: I have a marriage certificate for a couple married by Fr. Francis X. Dolan in 1925. Does anyone know which church this might have been? The bride lived in the Ashmont section of Dorchester. I'm working on a friends tree for Christmas and don't have time for another trip to the library, so I am hoping someone else might have this info on file. Thanks in advance for your help!

David, Rev. Rufus W. Clark was installed as the pastor of the Maverick Church (Orthodox Congregationalist) in East Boston on Dec 3, 1851. He served in that capacity until April 8, 1857. He was then installed in Brooklyn, New York, over the South Congregational church. The Maverick Church at the time off his ministry, was located on the corner of Sumner St at Maverick Square. If interested I will supply additional information on the history of this congregation and I will send a scanned image of the church. E-mail me privately at tjleary@aol.com Tom

Would like to know what church Rev. Clark was the Pastor of. Thanks ahead of time David

My Great Great Grandfather Jeremiah Joseph Lyons was raised by his fathers cousin Mrs. McNary (maiden name Lyons) in Manchester, MA. Jeremiah and his father came to Boston about 1852, Jeremiah was 4 years old. Jeremiah's mother Catherine did not make the trip to the states, assume she died in Ireland. Jeremiah's father John Lyons went west to look for work, he settled, married and died in Marion, Ohio. We believe Jeremiah never saw his father after he went west. Jeremiah grew up and went to school in/around Boston, in the 1880 Census he is married to Alice Meehan (Lyons) 1st wife and a child named James his occupation is listed as a woodcarver. In the 1890 Boston, Massachusetts Directory his occupation is still a woodcarver with location 1 as 1V block, Waltham, Location 2 as Westville, corner Topliff. His first wife Alice died in 1887, they had several children most died early of RH Factor. Later in 1887 he married Mary Elizabeth Welch and had 8 children the oldest of which was my great grandfather John Joseph Lyons. I have obtained quite of bit of information on his 2nd marriage and children, but would like to find out more about the person who raised Jeremiah from a child to adulthood. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone...I am hoping someone can assist. I have e-mailed the Family Tree Magazine without any success so far. I am looking for an articile that was in the Family Tree Magazine September 1990, Volume 6 #11 on Rollo Gillespie. Would anyone have a copy of the article or advise me how to obtain a copy. Thank you Gail
