I have come to multiple deadends in searching for my great great grandmother Mariah Madden. I know she married my gggrandfather, James Fee, in Randolph, Massachusetts in 1858. On their marriage certificate, Mariah gave Boston as the place where she was living at the time of her marriage. No parents' names were given. The fact that she had been living in Boston at the time of her marriage, but that she married in Randolph has always confused me. Many of the Fee family had married in Randolph around the same time. They lived in Hingham. Massachusetts, but since there was no Catholic Church in Hingham, they married elsewhere. A cousin recently posed the question that perhaps Mariah was living with her employers in Boston and therefore married in James' family church? This cousin also noted that many Irish had had their passage to America paid for by their future employers here in America. We have found a Mariah/Marie Madden immigrating from Galway to Boston in 1850, listing her occupation as servant. Are there any resources about such payment of passage for Irish immigrants? Would these resources list the employers paying the passage and the Irish people having their passage paid? We are taking the long tedious route of searching Boston census returns for 1850 and 1855 in the attempt to find Mariah in her employers household. Marcie Garritt

About closing the records, I can see the idea but where is the logic. People here have stolen ID's but off gravestones, so are we now to bury without markers etc, then do we put no weddings, deaths etc in the newspapers, or perhaps better still write everything in the newspapers without any names showing, now after this perhaps we better go around and destroy anything that has a name even mentioned. If somebody wants to steal an ID they will do it "ANY WAY" so to my mind it comes back to personal ID at all times such as fingerprints etc. Toni.

CECILIA MAY DRISCOLL (LYNCH) - Looking for Roman Catholic church baptism record. She was born 17 Jun 1894. The family resided at 24 Broadway Boston (Dorchester)at the time of her birth. Where would she likely been baptised? Sincerely, DeAnne Researching in Boston: DRISCOLL, LYNCH and McCARTHY

Another colorful chap who sailed out of Boston... :) -------------------------------------------------------- Captain Thomas Pound In 1689 on August 8th, Captain Pound sailed with five men and boy out of Boston as a passenger in a small vessel. Later, five other armed men joined them off Lovell’s Island. Together they seized craft and Pound exposed his piratical desire. They run alongside the first craft they met. It was fishing vessel and supposedly Pond lost his piratical courage and to the fishermen's surprise he bought mackerel for eight pennies. Then he sailed to Falmouth, Maine, where joined him corporal and soldiers who deserted local fort during night. Then they attacked the sloop Good Speed off Cape Cod and later the brigantine Merrimack, and as well as few other prizes. Meantime the Boston’s Governor learned about Pound’s activities, and sent an armed sloop Mary in search for new pirate in the region. Captain Pound and his crew was discovered in Tauparlin Cove and after heavy fight taken into Boston. Pond was during fight shot in arm and side. The trial took place on January 13th, 1690. Pond was found guilty, but reprieved. Then he was sent to England, where he was later liberated and later he even got command of a ship, Forty three years later, in 1703, he died in England. http://www.sevenoceans.com/Pirates/Popis/CaptaiThomasPound.htm

Massachusetts (MA) Researcher Update: MA Vital Records Closing! The Massachusetts Genealogical Council (MGC) board has been informed that the MA Department of Health is attempting to get the MA House Bill H5158 passed this week on the third reading in the MA House http://www.state.ma.us/legis/history/h05158.htm . Continued rereading, analysis and consultations regarding this bill by MGC board members and representatives is creating deepening concerns. It is important that you request BOTH a copy of this bill from your MA rep AND an explanation of you rep's position on the contents and the implications. The text of the bill is still not yet on line at http://www.state.ma.us/scripts/legis/ltsh.idq?HouseNumber=5158 Use every avenue. Register your concerns with your MA rep http://www.state.ma.us/legis/repdis01.htm Take a copy of the bill to a town clerk or an archivist at the MA archives and ask them exactly how they would interpret and implement it. Ask the HOUSE RULES committee members about their findings on the impact and the consequences of this bill : Members appointed to the committee: Rep. Scaccia of Boston Honan of Boston Correia of Fall River DiMasi of Boston Speliotis of Danvers Binienda of Worcester Ciampa of Somerville Harkins of Needham Turkington of Falmouth Connolly of Everett Lewis of Dedham Fallon of Malden Kelly of Dalton Cleven of Chelmsford Poirier of North Attleborough http://www.state.ma.us/legis/comm/h33.htm Additional MGC recommendations can be found at http://massgencouncil.home.attbi.com/index.htm . MA residents will shoulder the additional tax dollars, but all researchers will incure both specific costs and indirect costs with this bill - with the closure of access and services! Please, report your findings to the MGC at info@massgencouncil.org or Massachusetts Genealogical Council , PO Box 5393, Cochituate, MA 01778.
