update I have found out the following on my fathers sisters adopted parents: 1940 Donovan " , Jas L (Priscilla A) Rescue Co 3 h 15 Branton Dor 1950, Donovan , Jas L (Priscilla A) Capt FE 21 h 15 Branton Dor. Now can anyone tell me how to get in touch with a list of Boston retired or deceased fireman. I think this will make it a little closer to locating my Aunt.
