Florence,All I know is there is so much inf out there.Just looking at the Lawrence posting and others it is astonishing sight to see so many people searching for their families.Try Typing your Surname and given name,click search,you will get a list of areas to check,census is a good area,you might get 50 or so in different Counties,years,etc.start with 1yr.and a certain county.It will take a while to search but the farther back you search,the less populated expecially smaller towns.I am trying to find my ggrandfather b.1855 in NYC.which was very populated and do not have a clue as to what County,or their parents names.I started my mother's Fitzgerald line and have a lot of inf.but now must search town Halls,Libraries,Archives,Census,Directories,Cemeterie etcs etc.In 3 years I have collected 3200 names,found 5 cousins and talk to all relitives about the past.I found a priest in Wellesley,Mass.who was from my gggrandparents family who's gggrandfather's son that died in Boston at age 25 and moved away with the mother remarring and took a new name.Good Luck,Daniel -- Original Message ----- From: "Florence P" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, May 19, 2002 3:36 PM Subject: Re: [LAWRENCE-L] Re: Lawrence Book > Dear Daniel > > Thank you for replying and for 'keeping an eye ' out for > Joseph Lawrence in the hope of finding his wife's name. > I have no idea of where to look as there was no marriage record in Athol, > Mass where children were born- or at least registered. > When I wrote letters before, they said they would need to have the > 'township' or at least the County name before they could search....Of > course, I do not know the County or anything else for that matter. > Anyway, I do keep trying!!!!
