Hi Helen and other listers, Happy New Year Thank you all for your very kind help. I located Mary's marriage record and the birth records of her children. I have also located all of her grandchildren. One of Mary's sons was a hall of fame basketball player.

I’m sure you know this but the birth for Mary Josephine is volume 441, page 150. Although that’s a state index the city clerk will probably know just where to look. I pay $14.00 for a BMD from the city of Worcester as opposed to $50 from the state. On the other hand the sum of money to be inherited is significant, a $50 fee is nothing compared to the worth of the entire estate! To other non- MA residents on the list looking for BMD’s it is always cheaper to go the local root. Some of the smaller towns charge as little as $7.
