Hi Al, I was interested in reading your grandfather's files. My great Uncle, Andrew POLLOCK came from Ireland in the 1880's and settled in Cambridge, Mass. He was a carpenter and married Agnes Dunn. I know he died May 1, 1940 and is buried in Arlinton, MA. but have not been able to locate an obituary. I was hoping to find if he had children and or brother's who also came over. Have you any suggestions for finding his obit?
