I have a program for a concert given to benefit this society, February 19, 1911. Apparently Victor Herbert was to conduct but there is a small insert in the front announcing he will be unable to do so. Does anyone know anything about this society and if it is still in existance? If not is there any place that would be interested in having this program? I am in need of clearing out some stuff here. Thanks to any who may be able to help.

I have a photograph taken in 1911 of an Arthur L BEST. It was taken by Oppenheim photographers in Boston, Mass. It is possible that his family emigrated to the USA from March, Cambridgeshire, England at the end of the 1900s. If anyone has any information, I would be very grateful. Joy Cropper, England.

Hi All, I am trying to find out more about some ancestors of mine whom I believe moved to the US for a few years back in the 1850's and 60's. I know they were in America as two or three of their children were born there, according to the 1881 census at least. Here is what I have, and I hope someone can fill in a few blanks for me. Edwin COX b. about 1832 Dorset, England. Married Mary Ann KNIGHT in 1855 in Somerset, England. She was born about 1832 in Somerset. They had three children, Mary in 1856, Rosetta in 1857, and Emily Eliza in 1859, in the US (according to the London 1881 census). By 1862 they were in Somerset, England again, for the birth of another child, and by 1865 were in London for their next childs birth. I have a record of Rosetta Coxs marriage to a Harry HART, and their entry in the 1891 census for Lambeth, Surrey (London). It has Rosetta as being born in Boston. Can anyone help me find more details here? Someone sent me a copy of a census for 1860 from Savannah, Wayne Co., New York with Edwin and Mary Ann Cox, almost the right ages (suggests born in 1835 as opposed to 1832), and born in England. What I would like to find is their childrens record of birth or census returns. Perhaps this census is not them, or perhaps their children were elsewhere, I dont know. Does anyone has access to the census and can try and find their children, or perhaps Edwin and Mary Ann elsewhere with their kids? Or can someone find the childrens birth records? Perhaps someone can help me with why they might have been in Savannah - what kind of town / city is it (or was it then more like)? Why would they have come back to the UK? Flood? Drought? He was a labourer and she was a housekeeper. Thanks, Karen New Zealand

H. French SAVANNAH (1) - was formed from Galen, Nov. 24, 1824. It is the S E. corner town of the co. Its surface is broken by drift ridges in the N., and is low and marshy in the S.; about one-third of the S. part is a woodland marsh, known as Crusoe Island. Seneca River forms the S. part of the E. boundary. Crusoe Lake is a small, shallow body of water near the center; its outlet, Crusoe Creek, flows into Seneca River. The soil in the N. is a sandy and gravelly loam, and in the S. it is principally composed of muck and shell marl. (1) A tract of about 1,900 acres in the S. E. part is an open marsh, producing coarse grass. Savannah (p.v.) near the center, is a station upon the N. Y. C. R. R. and contains 20 houses. The first settlement was made by Elias Converse and Joseph Mozier, in 1812. (2) The first preacher was Rev. __ Wiers (Bap.). There is no church in town. Footnotes: The Galen Salt works of an early peiod were in this town. Among the early settlers were Michael Weatherwax, Benj. Seeley, Garret Burnham, Henry Taylor, Chauncey Ives, John Green, Abner and Ezra Rockway, Henry Myers, David Cushman, Smith Ward, and Sampson McBane, mostly from Eastern N. Y. The first marriage was that of Geo. Fredenburgh and Sally Converse; the first birth was that of a child of Geo. Fredenburgh; and the first death, that of __ Sweetman. Lorin Brown taught the first school, in 1817.

I have found where my Gr. Grandfather and his brother, William Whittaker, came over in 1873 from England. They were both single at the time of the crossing. I think I have found the correct William in the 1880 Census for Boston. The census shows a wife, Annie, age 27. I would like to know how to go about searching for their marriage. I'm assuming it was in the Boston area. No idea what Annie's maiden name was. Any help or information would be appreciated. I have not found much online help in this instance. I'm used to searching overseas for my family information and they are set up more for database information. Here is what I found in the 1880 Census. 3 Palmor Place Boston Whittaker, William, age 33, Civil Engineer, b. England Whittaker, Annie, age 27, keeping house, b.

Good morning, While looking for additional information about ..13.. LEWIS siblings who grew up in Stoneham, MA, between 1880 and 1920's, I just came across some Census information on the William HUBER family which is interesting. The 1910 Census has him listed twice: (1) George's Island, Fort Warren, Boston William L. HUBER, Private, U.S. Army, Age 25 (2) Joy Street, Boston William L. HUBER, Regular Soldier, 24 Henrietta HUBER, Wife, 21 William H. HUBER, son, one-month old - John S. HUBER, brother, 16 The 1920 Census has this family as follows: Franklin Street, Cambridge William L. HUBER, 31, Machinist, U.S. Arsenal (b MA) Henrietta M. HUBER, Wife, 31 William H. HUBER, Son, 10 Henrietta M. HUBER, Daughter, 8 John S. HUBER, Son, 6 - William H. HUBER, Father, 76 Clara M. HUBER, Mother, 55 Elmer HUBER, Brother, 22 There is a very good chance that the wife of William L. HUBER was the former Henrietta LEWIS, b. Sept. 1889 in Stoneham. The rest of her siblings all have definite middle names, but I didn't know hers. Now I know it starts with M., and could very well be Mary, after her mother. Her parents were .. John Stanley LEWIS and Mary Elizabeth CORKILL, both born in Liverpool, England, and who came to Canada in 1874, as "Home Children." They moved from Truro, NS, to Winchester, MA, in 1881, and raised 13 children in Stoneham, MA. I would be interested in hearing from anyone researching the above HUBER family, which seems to have remained living in Cambridge. Betty (near Lowell, MA) FYI: The siblings of Mrs. Henrietta HUBER were: William and Jennie LEWIS of Everett (then Bangor, ME?) ______ and Mary GREEN/E of Saugus (son, Stanley) "Joseph" and Emily WING of Melrose Edward and _____ LEWIS of Stoneham, Boston, and Lowell, etc. Francis and _____ LEWIS of Stoneham?? Died at Age 26 in 1913 (married??) ______ and Isabella PHELAN of Stoneham or Lynn (second marriage??) Arthur and Phoebe LEWIS of Lynn, then Laconia, NH Charles?? and Blanche JOYCE of Winchester _____ and Helen TALMADGE of Gardena, CA (prob. marr. CA 1920's) Silas LEWIS had 3 wives, and lived in Somerville and Chicopee, MA, etc. Joseph and Louise CHASE of Winchester John and Genevieve LEWIS of Gardena, CA (prob. marr. CA 1920's) (Some of these LEWIS couples were in Lynn, MA, after the parents' deaths in 1923 and 1924. I don't know if the "family home" in Stoneham was sold after the father's death. John LEWIS ran two, independent newspapers in Stoneham until his unexpected illness forced him to retire in 1922. He chose to live the last year of his life in Sandwich, NH, where they reportedly had a "summer home.") "There are two lasting bequests we can give our children; one is roots, the other is wings."

Hi, Looking to see if anyone remembers a Larry "Buster" Kelly from Charlestown. He played baseball for many teams in the early 40's and had a brief call up by the Boston Red Sox in 1944. He played for the Scranton Red Sox, and other teams including the Boston Navy Yard. Is there a place to look up this type of info? He married Mary Eileen Buckley in 1942 and they had 6 children. I am the only daughter. I am trying to put together a scrapbook for the next generation of Kelly's and could use a little help. Thanks, Peggy

A relative of my husband, David Ludwig Johnson, was among a number of Swedish immigrants who came to Boston on or about the month of April in 1887. I would like to be able to see a list of passengers from the ship, but I do not know what the name of the ship was. If anyone knows what ships came into the port of Boston from Europe around that time and can direct me to a site where I can obtain such a list, I would appreciate it. I have looked at several immigrant ships lists, but have not found any- thing. Thanks in advance for your help. Nancy

The Massachusetts Genealogical Council (MGC) is proud to present a full day seminar by renowned genealogist and noted educator Helen Leary on Saturday March 27 at the Best Western Hotel, Waltham MA. February 29 is the early registration deadline for a $10 savings. See http://massgencouncil.org for registration forms, hotel accomodations and other activities. This program is an exceptional opportunity to learn from the expert's expert - dedicated to the methodologies that crack those brickwall mysteries! Helen Leary is a Certified Genealogist, Certified Genealogical Lecturer, Fellow of the American Society of Genealogists, and a Fellow of the National Genealogical Society (and received its Award of Merit in 1987). She is past-president of the Board for Certification of Genealogists (and recipient of its Award for Outstanding Service in 2002) and has held numerous other elective offices in the field: trustee of the Association for Professional Genealogists (and recipient of its Graham T. Smallwood Award in 2003), and many others. In addition to Helen Leary's four fantastic research methodology lectures, more than 2 dozen members of the Association of Professional Genealogists (apgen.org) will provide Q&A in specific areas of expertise during the two hour lunch break. Vendors will include: Paul Bunnell, Loyalist author and lecturer http://www.willowbendbooks.com/advsearch.asp Federal Archives NARA Northeast Region http://www.archives.gov/facilities/ma/boston.html GenealogyFair Ancestral Manor http://www.GenealogyFair.com Godfrey Memorial Library http://www.godfrey.org/ JONATHAN SHEPPARD BOOKS http://jonathansheppardbooks.com/ New Hampshire Society of Genealogists http://www.nhsog.org/ Program Highlights: 8:00a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Registration in the Grand Ballroom, Vendors open, Refreshments (Coffee, Tea, Pastries) 8:45 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Massachusetts Genealogical Council Annual Meeting, including an update on Masschusetts records access issues! 9:45 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. Is This the Same Man, or a Different One With the Same Name: Proving that our ancestors are who we say they are is essential to proving that they are related to who we claim are their kinfolk. But sometimes everybody in the county has the same name (or at least it seems so to us). How do we separate them from each other, especially when there do not appear to be enough records to do it reliably? 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Time-Lines and Real Lives � Using Ancestor�s Life Patterns to Find Their Parents: Each event in an ancestor�s life occurred at a specific place on the time line between his or her birth and death. Those occurrences form a pattern. Mrs. Leary describes how to chart the time-line, identify the patterns, and use them to find the ancestor�s parents. 12:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Hot Buffet Lunch in the Terrace Dining Room (included in the Registration Fee) Members of the Association of Professional Genealogists will be hosting the tables in the dining room. Bring your questions and be ready for a discussion with other interested genealogists. 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Our Ancestors� Voices � Getting the Records To Tell Us Everything They Know: Seemingly minor details in a record can be of major importance in solving an otherwise insoluble genealogical problem. Mrs. Leary will discuss (and illustrate) techniques for getting more information from records than seems to be there. 3:15 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. The Hemings-Jefferson Connection: A Genealogical Evaluation of the Evidence: Sally Hemings, slave of Thomas Jefferson, is known to have had at least six children. Was their father Thomas Jefferson, another Jefferson, or a collection of unidentified Virginians? Impartial evaluation of *all* the evidence, including that derived from DNA comparisons among Hemings and Jefferson descendants (real and imagined), points inexorably to a single conclusion."
