Many Kerry peopled settled in Holyoke as well. The many factories that offered work was very appealing for those willing and able to work. What options are you trying to narrow down? NEHGS is a great source for researching family. Peg Gingras On 08/09/13, Jeanne Baldwin<jeannew.baldwin@gmail.com> wrote: So many people from Kerry settled in the Springfield area.
