[email protected] is Sharon's addy this past June.  Maybe she can help you.   Besides City Directories which could be found I'd think in Boston or for Boston in other major cities.  Problem is to get someone to check for you.   Other is the Census records for 1930, 1920, 1910, etc through Ancestry.com   I work in the South, especially NC and Missouri.  These are frontier states espcially where I need to look.  And my kin for their own safty, had to lie or just not get themselves listed in the 1870 Census.  Then of course, the 1890 census burned and just the perfect one for me and gone!!!   Boston area folks were very records driven, I think.   So discussion lists for those area of yours and maybe surnames would help.   Sorry.   Alanna   --- On Sun, 8/21/11, Larry Brennan <[email protected]> wrote:
