I wonder if anyone might be able to help me with ED areas for Roxbury in the 1900 census? They are called wards so it is possible that they are the voter registration districts? I am aware that it is considered part of Boston, but would like to narrow down the number of rolls of film I'll have to go through... I am trying to find my William GORVETTE/GORVETT, carpenter, parquet floor layer from PEI but no idea where except he was in Roxbury !!

I am looking for additional information on the following persons: REMI LANGELIER (deceased) previously married to Emily living at 275 D Boston, MA in Boston Directory 1890. I believe there is some connection to H. J. LANGELIER Co. at 993 Termont in Boston. My gr grandmother was LOUISE LANGELIER (LYNCH) - I believe Remi and Emily are her parents. I have been told this family was French Canadian. Louise may have been born in 1860s in Canadian. Could someone look up this family in earlier Boston Directories? Does anyone have any information on this family? Thanks so much for your attention! --- Sincerely DeAnne --- Researching Surnames: Driscoll, Jones, Langelier, Lynch, Moore, Stevens

Hello. Does anyone have access to a death index for Boston or Suffolk Co? I'm looking for a death date for Anne McLaughlin BOYLE, widow of Thomas F. Boyle. She died sometime after about 1925. Any help is appreciated. Jeanne Arguelles ejarguelles@msn.com

A few weeks ago, I posted to the list regarding my search for the *actual* Boston Tea Party site in relation to modern Boston streets. I, as well as like-minded associates, search for such sites all the time with some success. Compared to most so-called "lost" sites, that of the BTP has more advantages and fewer disadvantages. The area was settled (pop. 12,000), it was mapped well and periodically (most are online), and relevant streets have been in place since well before the event until the present. I have been asked by some to report back to the list when I learned the answer forthcoming from the "experts". I am sorry to report that the closest I have able to obtain in the way of a response from that group is that 1)the actual site is unknown and 2) it cannot be determined. My answer to them is that it can indeed be found, I tell them where it is, and provide my evidence for doing so. A website showing my findings is in place (and will remain so) at http://jrshelby.com/bostontp2.htm This is the only internet site devoted to locating the actual site of the BTP, providing relevant evidence. It is being submitted to search services and should become relatively easy-to-find for those interested in the site (or in historical maps of Boston over the years). No evidence has been forthcoming to refute the conclusions given on the website. The continued presence of the website should result in the acceptance of its findings or should eventually evoke rebuttal from those believing they have the evidence to do so. Recent additions to the site: - endnotes (sources) - extracts from emails received (names withheld), and my responses to same. - "What happened at Hubbard's Wharf" (the BTP was at Griffin's Wharf). This is the probable root cause for the confusion over the actual site. John Robertson

I have just started working on my ancestors in Abington and it appears as if most worked either as a shoemaker or "at the boot factory". So far I have the following Abington surnames connected to my STEWART ancestors: CLARK, RUSSELL, MEARS, TIRRELL 1860 and up. Was there one big shoe factory? Any connections to the surnames? Wally

Hi BettyAnn, I checked the 1880 census for both surnames and there were no matches for your given names.This was a search for all of MA.,not just Boston.In the 1881 directory,there were 3 BENN,none you were looking for,Anderson I found a few. 1881 directory ANDERSON Mary,Mrs., house 57 Warren av Mary, widow, house 15 Shaving Mary, widow, house 17 Coventry Mary A., physician, 47 Prince, house do.

If this census is on CD and available for a lookup would SKS search for: Allen, Henry and Lydia (wife) in Hampshire County MA town of Hadley or South Hadley. With much appreciation: David

Yes, I know it is frustering. My David Watters even got his naturalization papers under the name Waters. He went back many years later and fixed it. I also found that the indexes of the census can be wrong. When you actually look at the image it is a different spelling. I have found my Watters under Waters and Walters and went I go to the image I wonder how they got it wrong. It looks so clear to me. In the new LDS 1880 census he shows up as David Walters but if you look at the image it is definitely Watters. But I have found in the directories they are usually right. Thanks for you input.
