We all may know lots of Callahans, but to turn on lights and jog memories to find connections and the aha moment, we do need specific dates and places, as well as professions and any other specific details that help us draw the connections out of the mists of time.

Thank you, Cousin Dale. Is there a list somewhere of college libraries' admission and usage policies? Harvard doesn't let outsiders in IIRC (having an ancestor who graduated 300 years ago doesn't help). MIT lets people in but "Perspectives in American History" is in off-site storage and I can't request it. Has anyone seen the "Widowhood in Eighteenth Century Massachusetts" article? An abstract or description would help.

If you go to that site I gave you, and do a search on Patrick F. Geary, there is a marriage in Boston, but the page is funny, in that it is not dated. Off to the upper left is a place that lets you look at the previous page, and that says 1915. Thus on 08 August 1915, a Patrick F. Geary married a Ella G. Cole? If you do the same thing and look at the next page after the wedding, it says his parents were Martin Geary and Bridget Hopkins, and her's were William T. Cole and Katherine G. Dennis. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michelle" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2011 3:35 PM Subject: [GENMASSACHUSETTS] Geary- 1916 Boston > Hi!

Michelle, that marriage is between a Catherine Cole and a Richard Cole. You can look at it yourself by going to - http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html?datestamp=120689 7516187#p=0 Once there scroll down to USA, Canada and Mexico. Click on that and it will take you to a listing of records. Just scroll down to Massachuesetts marriages. And have fun. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michelle" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2011 3:45 PM Subject: [GENMASSACHUSETTS] marriage records > Hi!

Is the following article available on line? I can't find it in a web search, or at NEHGS or the Minuteman library system. Even a good abstract would be useful. "Widowhood in eighteenth-century Massachusetts: a problem in the history of the family" by Alexander Keyssar. Perspectives in American history 8(02/1974); 8:83-119. It is referenced in the book "The Family Tree Problem Solver" by Marsha Hoffman Rising. adTHANKSvance!

Hello,   In this morning's  MassMoments e-mail there is a story about how many women were forced to go out to work during the World Wars,  especially WW II.      But, one reminder is that while reading was the  World War 2  was starting while "The Great Depression" was still going on.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Depression   http://www.massmoments.org/moment.cfm?mid=351   So, between 1930's and 1940's,   lots of SADNESS, worry,  stress, etc.,  was going on in our grandparents' lives,  and in our parents' lives -  if they were becoming soldiers in 1941 and 1942.   It's mentioned in the MassMoments article that in the .mill towns.  in MA   (like Lowell and Lawrence, etc.)    women were already working.    But - things changed in 1941:   ....    But with men leaving to enlist, there was a sudden labor shortage; women stepped forward as "production soldiers," taking their place on assembly lines. In the mill town of Lowell, where women had traditionally worked unskilled jobs for low wages, new opportunities opened, offering independence, self-respect, and money. At the end of the war, many women lost their jobs to returning soldiers, but others, armed with new skills, remained. The number of working women never again fell to pre-war levels.   Betty              (near Lowell, MA)     (And,  World War I  in the US was not pleasant for families.       My maternal grandparents were just getting married and starting having their many children from 1912  (until 1930's).    Then WW I was from 1914 to 1918.     And, then during the 1920's, these grandparents lost 3 babies for different reasons.    And, then the 1940's, their older sons were enlisting to go off to fight in WW II.        These grandparents never had a lot of money so they had to .make do.  with what they had -  and then throughout their early married years, 1911 to 1951,  lots of  WORRIES.)   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II
