    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Furlong, K/Cavanagh Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/GZX.2ACEB/191.3 Message Board Post: I also have a mysterious Delia Furlong. She was the first to be buried in South Boston on 7/10/1908 at the age of @50. My ggpa, Joseph T. Furlong, and his wife were next buried @ ten years later then their descendants were buried there. Joe was born in 1857 in St. Johns Newfoundland the son of Thomas J Furlong a woman [of course]. I've not been able to pinpoint this further. I'm sure he had siblings and he married in St Johns in 1891 and had several children there before emigrating to Boston in 1887. The Mass Archives doesn't seem to have a death record and the cemetery doesn't have any more information. Of course, there's no headstone on the plot! Thought that if we exchanged pics we might see a family resemblance. I've attached a pic of Joe's Boston grandson who like Joe's family was tall, had thick, black hair, light complexion and green/hazel eyes. Am eager to find out more about your Mary Furlong, too.
