Hello, I tried to find some web sites which tell about the "historic sites" in Concord, and, when I Googled, I found this newspaper page from January. It talks about the BARRETT Farm: http://www.wickedlocal.com/concord/archive/x1943021720/Senate-passes-bill-to-add-Barretts-Farm-to-Minuteman-Park During the past winter, I think I saw an episode on "History Detectives" which talked about a "cannon" at a farm in Concord. Was that about the Barrett Farm? Here is the web site for the "Minute Man National Historic Park" http://www.nps.gov/mima/ http://www.nps.gov/mima/planyourvisit/placestogo.htm http://www.nps.gov/mima/planyourvisit/events.htm I Googled "Concord, Massachusetts" and found these sites: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concord,_Massachusetts http://www.concordma.gov/Pages/index http://www.newenglandtravelplanner.com/go/ma/boston_west/concord/ http://www.concordma.com/ Etc. IF you live out of state, don't forget that you, or your children, can read the several books written by Thoreau. One is something like "A Week Along the Concord and Merrimack Rivers.." And this is another: http://books.google.com/books?id=RbpFzu9G3BsC&dq=%22Concord,+Massachusetts%22&printsec=frontcover&source=bl&ots=_vEAzbZzWd&sig=VxTlxlrnFYmJ5JvyHZEcX8izPQo&hl=en&ei=csobSom0F8yDtgfolrDbDA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=8 And don't forget about "Walden Pond" http://www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/walden/ Just an FYI for you.

Hello. i'd like to find the census listings for 1920 and 1930 for Vincenzo LaPORTA. He was married to a Stella (likely CAPONITO, or some variation). They had at least one child, Anna Carol, born 1923 in Massachusetts. Vincenzo was born in Naples, Italy before 1909. Stella was born in Venice, Italy before 1909. I don't yet know when they immigrated, but they were definetly were by 1923. i saw a 1930 index listing on Ancestry that said Suffolk county. They were likely in Boston, but could be a surrounding city. I'd love the census images, but will settle for transcription. thanks a bunch for your time! -- ~*~ Allyssa (New England, USA) ~*~ (I am house-bound, so can only search from home.

I'm trying to locate some census listings. for 1920 and 1930. I did what I could with HeritageQuest, but the index is terribly inadequite and i'm not having much luck. Nicolo (or Nicola, maybe even Nicholas/Nicolas) INCHIERCA (pronounced Inky-Er-Ka). I found what may be immigration record, listed as INCHIERCHIERI. He married Anna PALERMO, likely before 1919, when a child was born, Raymond (or Raymondo, or variant spellings). Nicolo was from Sicily, Italy, born before 1904. Possibly early 1890s, if that immigration record is indeed his. Anna was born in Palermo, Italy (yes, like her last name), again, before 1904. They may also have had a daughter named Lillian that was born in 1928, though I haven't confirmed it yet. I don't yet know of any other children. They arrived in New York, but came to Boston shortly after. Raymond was born 1919 in Massachusetts, so they were here by then. They were likely living in the Boston area, though maybe in Somerville area as well. I was hoping someone with access to a better index, could help me out. If found, I'd love a copy of the census image, but will settle for the transcription. Thanks in advance for your time. -- ~*~ Allyssa (New England, USA) ~*~ (I am house-bound, so can only search from home. I always GREATLY appreciate the kindness of volunteers.)

Hello, For non-genealogy reasons, I have an interest in a LINEHAN family which might have had a large property or a farm in Chelmsford, or on the Chelmsford / Westford line during the first half of the 1900's. I was wondering if anyone knew of them. I just checked census information, and the name first shows up in MA in the 1860 census, 17 people in various counties. In 1870, 39 people, mostly in Essex Co. In 1880, 116 people in various counties, but mostly in Suffolk Co. and Bristol Co. In 1880 in Middlesex Co., most are in Somerville and Arlington. In 1900, the number drops down to 73 people, and most are in Suffolk Co. and Essex Co. In Middlesex Co., the people are mostly in the Cambridge and Waltham area, with 2 in Lowell. In 1910, the number jumps back up to 140 people, with most in Suffolk Co., Essex Co., and Middlesex Co. In Middlesex Co., most are in Cambridge and Somerville. In 1920, 164 people, with most in the same counties. The families are mostly still in Cambridge and Somerville. One man is in Lowell. None in Chelmsford or Westford. I cannot check the 1930 census. So, perhaps the LINEHAN family bought the land in Chelmsford during the 1920's or 1930's. (From postings last year, I had found out that several families came down from Canada to buy large properties in Chelmsford ~1900. Chelmsford (and Westford) were originally full of farms. PARLEE and LOISELLE are 2 names which are present in Chelmsford now.) Thank you for your time. Betty (near Lowell, MA)

Hello, In this morning's MassMoments e-mail there is a story about Margaret FULLER, born in 1810 in Cambridge, MA. http://www.massmoments.org/moment.cfm?mid=152 ...in 1810, Margaret Fuller was born in Cambridge. Teacher, author, critic, philosopher, journalist, she is remembered today as a woman with a formidable intellect and a willingness to take risks. One of the nation's first and most articulate feminists, she wrote Woman in the Nineteenth Century, published in 1845. This pathbreaking book argued that "every arbitrary barrier [should be] thrown down . . . every path laid open to Woman as freely as to Man." In 1848 Margaret Fuller traveled in Europe as a foreign correspondent for the New York Tribune and became involved in the fight for a Roman republic. She sailed for home in 1850 with her Italian husband and their young son. All perished in a shipwreck off Long Island. .. Unfortunately, the manuscript for her 2nd book - died with her ! :o( Betty (near Lowell, MA)

Hello, I thought it would be a good time to mention a history of "Memorial Day" in the U.S. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_Day And, as I said in another posting of mine this morning, on other Lists, in addition to remembering your relatives or friends who fought hard and / or suffered badly during "any" war this weekend, you could also remember your ancestors. How many of you would be sitting at your computer right now -- IF your ancestor had fought and died - BEFORE - he or she had had a child ? One relative who comes to mind is my aunt. She had a very brief marriage ~1939, and it resulted in a pregnancy. While she was pregnant she "left" that man, and then delivered a "stillborn" baby. She then became a soldier, a WAC, during WW II. She served for one year - under her married name. She remarried a few years later but never had another child. So, my aunt, lastly known as Mrs. Louise MUZZEY, had no descendants ! She died in the 1990's in Somerville, MA, but was buried in the MUZZEY plot in a cemetery in Greenfield, NH. Perhaps I should drive there this weekend and see if her "services" is mentioned on her stone ! About my question above, I can mention my KIDDER line. The patriarch, James (1626-1676) reportedly died as a result of injuries in suffered during the long-standing, so-called "Indian Wars." But, he and Anna (MOORE) had had 12 children before that happened. One son, John, also fought in those wars, but he and his wife had had 12 children before he had passed. One son, Thomas, literally "dropped dead" one day ~1730, but he and his wife had had 4 sons, and she was probably pregnant with their 5th when that happened. One son, Joseph, had to very quickly - climb a very large tree - in order to HIDE from the enemies (New Ipswich, NH) He survived, and he and his wife had many children. One son, Calvin, went to Canada. Calvin was killed in a boating accident - one week after his only child was born. That son was very nearly killed in the "great Mirimichi Fire" in New Brunswick which was in 1825. He didn't marry in Maine until ~1834. One son, Joseph, became a soldier (from Princeton, ME) during the Civil War. He fought in Florida - where he was seriously injured. He did survive and returned to Maine - where he married his cousin, Clarissa. Their first child was born in 1870. "Sanford" left home at Age 15 after his mother's passing, and became a "woodsman" / "lumberman" - as his grandfather had been. I'm told he took on many dangerous tasks. His 2nd marriage was in 1898, and his first child was a daughter, Clarissa, born in 1899. She became my grandmother. She had many casualties as a child, but survived to have 5 children. But, as far as I know, her brother, "Sanford, Jr.," did not have children. And, her other brother, Clinton, was nearly killed by a "drunk driver" at Age 9. He lost an entire leg as a result of the accident. He married but had only one child. This son will never have children, so that is the end of my "KIDDER line" - as far as males are concerned. (And, I could mention the siblings of my KIDDER ancestors who fought in wars. In New Ipswich, NH, Wilder KIDDER, was a "famous and animated Fifer" in the Revolutionary War. He fought in many states and survived. He married in NJ but never had children. His brother, Joseph, fought as a 14-year-old, probably in NY. He is one of my mysteries. Was it him, or his cousin - with same name, same age, and in same town, who married and had children ?? Last year I visited Temple, NH, and found only Wilder's name on the monument in the town center.) I hope you are having a pleasant weekend ! And, it's a good time to visit a cemetery ! Perhaps it's a cemetery very near you - who you've been meaning to visit. You don't need special equipment to take pictures of stones. I use a "disposable camera" and have the film developed. I am lucky enough to have a printer with a "scanner" capability. I take the pictures and "scan" them into my computer. From there I can send each picture to an e-mail (as an attachment). Betty (near Lowell, MA) (I would love to see a picture of the "KIDDER stones" in Princeton, Maine.) (Perhaps I should visit the cemetery in Ayer, MA, this weekend. I doubt anyone else is placing flowers beside the stone of Robert HUTCHINSON. My research has shown that he was the last, male HUTCHINSON coming out of the "HUTCHINSON Farm" in Winchester, MA (1700's to 1900's). I found out about him, unfortunately, 2 years after he had been killed in a car accident in Westford, MA.) (There might be a male descendant in Brooklyn, NY, but I can't find anyone researching that family ~1860's.)

A. Genealogy researchers who had relatives in New York State, Vermont, Massachusetts and in Canada may be interested in the Rensselaer County Marriage Index on the Troy Irish Genealogy website. Currently there are over 40,000 names in the 7 volumes of the index on line and another 3,250 names in Vol. 8 will be going on line shortly. It should be noted that these records, like most of the TIGS data series, cover the general population in the area and are NOT restricted to Irish surnames. B. As pointed out previously, you may find individuals from counties throughout New York State, neighboring states and even far away states on the index. In working with the 3,250 names in Vol. 8, it was noted that there are a very large number of Massachusetts residents included in the index. The following 7 examples from Vol. 8 will give you some idea that the index covers much more than just Rensselaer County residents: 1. Michael J. Fraker, residing in Bennington, Vermont, born in Walloomsac, New York, marries: Agnes Guering, residing in Hoosick Falls, born in Ireland. 2. James Callahan, residing in North Adams, Mass., born in Dalton, Mass., marries: Mary Fleming, residing in North Adams, Mass,. born Lawrence, Mass. 3. Arthur S. Davies, residing in San Diego, Calif., born in Montreal, Canada, marries: Elizabeth H. Coulle, residing in Troy, born in Canada. 4. Morris Halperin, residing in Glens Falls, born in Glens Falls, marries: Mildred L. Pawel, residing in Clearfield, Pa., born in Hudson Falls, NY. 5. Ernest H. Blodgett, residing in Brattleboro, Vermont, born in Grafton, Vermont, marries: Ethel M. Baldwin, residing in Brattleboro, Vermont, born in Grafton, Vermont. 6. Roger S. Clapp, residing in Boston, Mass., born in Lexington, Mass., marries: Winifred Irwin, residing in Boston, Mass., born in Quincy, Illinois. 7. Nils Mattson, residing in Hudson, NY, born in Sweden, marries: Helen Bolin, residing in Troy, NY, born in Sweden. (Another interesting note: This marriage was performed in Albany County and NOT in Rensselaer County) C. Address for the Troy Irish Genealogy website is: www.rootsweb.com/~nytigs/ Click on projects and then click on Rensselaer County Marriage Index. Take a look at Marriage Index data base, you never know what you will find. Regards, Bill McGrath TIGS Project Coordinator Clifton Park, NY
