Just a little info on the lifestyle of another generation. I have two Mary Moran's in New Haven in the 1900 census. One 9 years old the other 8 years old. My Mary is (b 1890). I have a copy of the NH birth records and their is no other Mary Moran except for mine which would be the 9 year old. When I was discussing this, I was told that back in the day - orphanges were the precusor to our modern day care centers. This was true if families were poor and both parents had to work. Or a single parent. This would explain why two Mary's fit my profile. I have written to St Francis Orphanage for info and included an addressed stamped envelope. Hopefully, I will get some type of response, even if it is - we don't do research of old records. cuzmuz ----------------------------------------- This email was sent using FREE Catholic Online Webmail. http://webmail.catholic.org/
