Deirdre, thanks for your reply. I am quite exited as the O'Shea's that I am interested in were from Cork too. I know this as my mother went back there to the family first with the young John O'Shea and in fact I believe that the family there adopted him as my mother had no means of support at the time. I would dearly love to share what information you have. Thanks Pat.

Donor, long dead, leaves millions and mystery to libraries By Greg Sukiennik, Associated Press, 1/13/2002 10:47 HOPKINTON, Mass. (AP) A retired letter carrier, the frugal son of Irish immigrants, left this town's library a modest gift when he died more than 60 years ago: money he'd managed to save and wisely invest. He set up a trust worth about $71,000 and named three beneficiaries, stipulating that when they died, the remaining money should go to the libraries in Hopkinton and Boston to buy books. His last heir now dead, his gift has grown to more than $3 million. But there's a catch: the little library in Hopkinton, which received $1.2 million, is already stuffed to the rafters. And, since Bernard J. McGovern was so specific in his 1940 will about how to use the money, authorities say his gift can't help the library with much-needed expansion or even buy books on tape unless the courts approve an expansion of the will. Former librarian Rose Leveille, who worked at the library for 31 years, is among few Hopkinton residents who were aware of McGovern and his last wishes. When she saw a funeral notice for Virginia Bernsten nearly two years ago, Leveille knew exactly what it meant: McGovern's niece was his last beneficiary. ''I have seen copies of that will and a report (from the town treasurer) every year,'' she said. ''I was always very much aware of this. The people who were library directors before me certainly knew. But I don't think the townspeople knew.'' But the question that still persists is why McGovern left the money to those two libraries and time has stolen the answer. There was no one to thank when the town received a check for $1,174,332 last fall. McGovern had no children. No next of kin can be found. Town officials are now exploring possible expansion of the will. At present the money would buy more books than the library could possibly hold. ''It's a great boon to us eventually, but right now it's a little bit of a dilemma,'' library director Carol Walsh says. Shelves are shoehorned into every possible nook and cranny of the cozy 105-year-old building, which trustee Jack Donahue calls ''the Fenway Park of libraries.'' Even the window sills hold books. Shelves holding stacks of DVDs and books on compact disc run down the middle of a hallway that connects the library with a wing added in 1967, a former Episcopal church. The library still uses a paper card catalog, and has managed to squeeze in three computers for public use. A larger, handicapped-accessible children's department is a pressing need. So is space for computer equipment and a meeting room. While the Boston Public Library received the larger share of the money, the similarities are few. The largest gift that library ever received was from the late Thomas R. Drey Jr., who left his entire $6.8 million fortune. The BPL has a yearly acquisition budget of $3 million; Hopkinton's is $35,000. The life of McGovern and how he managed to save an estate worth $71,000 at the end of the Great Depression is a bit of a mystery. Probate court files show he was shrewd with money, even in those hard times. An inventory of McGovern's estate outlines a pattern of diversified investing, largely in utilities. He also had eight separate passbook savings accounts, each holding between $3,000 and $5,000. He was born to Bernard and Catherine McGovern on Oct. 26, 1870, in Hopkinton. He worked alongside his father at one of several shoe factories in town through the turn of the century. At some point McGovern moved to the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston. He met and married Lenora Lemmon, a child of Irish immigrants like himself. She died of pneumonia March 8, 1923, at 58. McGovern, 69, signed his will in August 1940. Three months later, he died, and the trust was established by 1942 at New England Trust Co. Years passed. Then decades. On April 8, 2000, Berntsen died at age 95. ''I wish now we asked how it all happened,'' said says Mary Morrissey, whose mother, Mary Cronin, befriended Berntsen the last 20 years of her life. ''We did know about the trust that the library would receive a large sum of money that was no secret. But nobody ever said, ''Why did he do that?''' If Berntsen knew her uncle's motive, she never shared it. ''She was a very private person. She didn't volunteer much information about her family,'' Morrissey says. ''If she didn't tell my mother, she didn't tell anybody.'' Leveille has similar regrets. ''It's too bad. I knew people who knew him, people he was acquainted with. I'd love to find out if they knew,'' she says. The story also had a bittersweet ending for Berntsen. Like McGovern, she, too, was widowed. She was famously thrifty, Morrissey says, and loved spending time at the Boston Public Library. But years of nursing home care whittled away her nest egg, to the point where she needed public assistance in the end. McGovern's will had one crucial flaw: no adjustment for inflation. Though the trust grew to $3 million, Berntsen received just $40 a month until the day she died. ''In the end she had needs, and we could never do anything about it,'' Morrissey said.

Does anyone know how many rolls of microfilm there are for each of these census years [1850, 1860] for Boston. I am thinking in terms of ordering them to inspect at the LDS family history library. Are the censuses organized strictly according to wards in Boston? Are the wards enumeration districts?

Thanks to the persons who answered my original query. As I am a pensioner and the Aussie dollar is only worth 52c expensive lookups are not a viable option for me. I was hoping that maybe there would be some data available on the net which I could use. Briefly: My mother Beatrice Victoria Emblen went to Boston before WW1. Apparently she was too young to marry (she was born 1897) and I suspect she put her age up a year to marry an O'Shea who was dying of TB. She had a son ,John O'Shea and after her husband died returned to GB on the Mauritania, I believe. Her Uncle (an Emblen perhaps) had a practice in Virginia Plain? Any help as to how I could get some info on these matters would be much appreciated. Pat Garland. Perth Aust.

Apparently my great great grandmother lost her husband aboard ship on the way over here from Ireland. They ended up in Canada and she and her children and her brother had to walk down to Boston.

Hi Sharon, Thanks for the info. It could very possibly be my ggf. His b-day is Dec 23, 1863 so at least the age matches. I have always been told that he was born in Roccasicura, Molise, Italy, however I do know that there are some Scarpitti's from Carovilli and have corresponded with a couple of people researching those Scarpitti's. I was also told that he came over in 1895, but that could be wrong. The towns of Carovilli and Roccasicura are pretty close so this is worth checking into. Does LDS have this film do you know? I'll have to order it. Thanks so much for the info!! It's greatly appreciated.

Hi The Italians to America 1880-1893 has the following - Antonio Scarpitti age 27, occupation farmer, arrived NY Dec 14, 1891 on ship Hindoustan from Naples, residence Carovilli which is also in Molise. The manifest id is 81987, so you ought to be able to get the film for that. "Portrait of an Italian American Neighborhood: the North End of Boston" - describes farmer's market as being on the corner of North and South Market Street, where all the waterfront terminals were nearby ... the custom house was there ..." There is an over head picture of the farmer's wagons there in 1900. The open air markets were still really lively until they ripped that area apart with rennovations over the last few decades.
