Hello and a Happy Halloween to all from Oregon! I am seeking information about my great uncle who was b. in England but died in Boston. I am wondering if anyone would be able to look up an obituary or check the Death Index for any information about him. Thank you in advance for any and all your efforts on my behalf. Here are the particulars: George Gibson, d. Oct. 11, 1928, (funeral Oct. 14, 1928) Living at: 50 Seavearns Ave., Jamaica Plain, Mass Wishing you a happy day. Nancy Chubbuck-Copeland

Greetings, In my g-g-g-grandfather's tax records in the year 1869 had a Luther Thompson living with him at 124 Everett Street in Boston - Luther was a Teamster like my g-g-g-grandfather and g-g-grandfather (who is also listed at this address). I am guesstimating that Luther was born in 1850 as only men 20 years and older are listed in the tax records (unless say a female was a property owner). Would like to chat if someone is - it is not a common name so I thought I would throw it out. Wishing all a happy fall! Christina

Even though we all do it, looking through cemeteries is a hard way to research. In MA, the records are so easy to obtain and the cost very reasonable, one would have much better luck looking up the death record and if they wanted to find where the deceased was buried, they could get the info off the record (most of the time). LDS Family History center Index film #'s: ANDERSON 1861 - 1865 = 0953942 ANDERSON 1866 - 1870 = 0953943 BENN 1901 - 1905 = 0954710 BENN 1906 - 1910 = 0954713 Once you find the record in the index, you can either order the record or use the Vol. / Page listed to find the LDS film # to look up record up yourself.

I don't believe they were Catholic, so that would eliminate some cemeteries. Charles ANDERSON died between 1860 and 1870; Mary J. after 1870; Sarah after 1900. Walter BENN died after 1900; Frances BENN died after 1870. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. BettyAnn in PA __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hello all. I am a Bostonian now living in Oregon and am trying to find some information regarding my grandmothers family. Her uncle and aunt brought her to America sometime after 1907 when she was a young girl, never to return to England. I just learned her uncles name and was informed he died in Boston. Here are the particulars: George Gibson, d. ca. 1928/29 @ 22 St. John St. Jamaica Plain, Mass. I'd like to find an obituary or anything that might give me information about his wife (only know maiden name is Hughes, have no dates, she is my grandmothers mothers sister) in the hopes it will give me a clue about my grandmothers family. Thank you in advance for any and all help on my behalf. I wish you a happy day. Historically yours, Nancy Chubbuck-Copeland

Hello list, There is an interesting account of the ferment in an around the Old South Church prior to the dumping of the tea. There were speeches by Samuel Adams and others, but it was William Rowe who asked the suggestive question,"Who knows how tea will mingle with salt water?" The ship DARTMOUTH, owned by a "Mr. Roth," and two other ships, were central to the issue of not allowing tea to be unloaded in Boston at that particular time. On the evening of Dec 16th, 1773 another meeting at Old South at night, and then... "The throng in the church immediately followed after the simulated Indians, who were running towards Griffin's (now Liverpool) wharf, near the foot of Pearl street. ...."The Indians were joined by others, and the ships were boarded. The chests were brought on deck, broken open, and their contents emptied into the waters of the bay." "For several hours the operations were intently watched by citizens on the shore, soldiers in the Castle, and sailors on the war-ships...."As strange as it now seems, no resistance was encountered; and we are left to conjecture to account for the fact that all the King's forces made not a single effort..." These excerpts are from "History of The Old South Meeting-House in Boston," by Everett W. Burdett, published by B.B. Russell of Boston, 1877, pages 69 & 71. Additional footnote for ref. by the author is "The Boston Gazette," Dec 27, 1773.

Hello List, In the "History of the Old South Meeting House," found a detailed account of the exact location of the Tea Party. I remember there was someone looking for that awhile back and can contact me if they need to. Regards, Bob Jackson ---

Dear Listers, I have recently discovered that my wife is related by marriage (through Deborah DENNY, his wife) to the Revd. Thomas PRINCE, Co-pastor of the Old South Church in Boston, a position he held from 1718 until his death. I would like to find a portrait or likeness of Mr Prince, but haven't been able to find one on the 'web'. Anybody got any ideas, please. (And if anybody is likewise related, please contact me pronto!). Yours, etc. Geoffrey in Cambridgeshire, England.

I am researching Rest Fenner CURTIS. He was the son of Thomas and Ann CURTIS. I believe he taught at Harvard University in 1913. I am hoping someone might have access to a 1913 Harvard yearbook, and that they could do a look up for me? Thank you very much.

Hello everyone, I went with my Aunt today to Woodlawn Cemetery in Everett MA (Protestant cemetery) - we went to our Thompson grave there. Now I found an interesting thing - there seems to be other Thompson's there and I am unsure who they are. I wanted to see if they belonged to anyone researching Thompson's in the Boston area. At 1325 Blossom Ave Woodlawn Cemetery. Rev. William Thompson died May 9, 1872 Age 63 years Sarah E. Thompson wife of John (I think) Everett (I am sure of the last name) Born Nov 23, 1825 Died Oct 24, 1881 Mary Thompson (no other information given) Rachel Thompson Died August 28, 1912 Age 68 Elijah Thompson (my Thompson) Betsey R Thompson (Betsey Sawyer) (Elijah's wife) Sarah A Thompson Louis K Thompson Lewis C Thompson Some other listed on the plot card but I can not make it out - I am waiting on further research from Woodlawn administration. Let me know if there are any connections! Have a great day! Christina

IVA .......... Thanks for your interest & your note. Following is what I know about my GG/gm, Elizabeth Brown Laverty, which isnt much. In my continual search for family members, I havent found any Brown members either in NAmerica or Ireland, but its fun looking for them. Sorry, but I dont recognize any of your Brown family members that you posted. I do, though, have much info on Elizabeth Brown Laverty's children. If we can't "connect" in NAmerica, perhaps we are "connected" way back someplace in Ireland. Have fun.

George Laverty b. 1782 in Armagh? Ireland arrived in New Brunswick,Canada, c. 1816 with wife ELIZABETH BROWN & son William b: 1815. Other children were: Isaac b. 1817 m. Elizabeth Baldwin, Mary Jane b. 1821 m. John Bryden, John b. 1825 in Maugerville, N.B. m. Annie Dougherty, Elizabeth b. 1828 (no further info on her), and Matilda b. 1831 or 36 m. John Dickison. Do not know where they lived prior to 1825 (John's obit states he was born in Maugerville). In the 1830s they petitioned for land in S. Richmond, Carleton Co., N.B. (near Debec). Many family members remained there but some moved elsewhere in Canada and the U.S. (ME, MA, CA and??) Would appreciate any further info on this family. I am anxious to make the connection to their Irish roots. ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

I can check out his address in the Boston Street Directory on my next trip to the research library which will be some time before the end of the month. Let me know if you get a quicker response.

Finally broke through a wall today and discovered the maiden name of my 3x great grandmother to be Catharine Gainey, born circa 1829, daughter of William Gainey and Hannah O'Neil. I believe the family is from Co. Cork. Anyone researching Gainey in Cork or Boston? Would love to hear from you. Jerry
