Hi, again. With such good luck from my request yesterday, I'm on a mission! Here's the basics. I am not sure where we lived in 1930! My dad was VP of a bank when the 'crash' came; naturally, no job, lost the house, etc. etc. >From what I have been told they may have gone to live with dad's widowed mother (Mary Colbert) in Arlington, or with mom's widowed grandmother (head probably Ernst Meyer) in Medford. Or mom may have gone, with 3 children, to her grandparents home in LIncoln County, Maine for a while. But I'm not sure of the timeline. So, basically, here is what I am looking for: Edward I Colbert, b 1901 Head? Dorothy H (Meyer) Colbert b 1903 Wife Dorothy M Colbert b 1923 dau Edward P Colbert b 1925 son Barbara Colbert b 1926 dau (that's me!) If it is possible, without a lot of extra work, to find us in Massachusetts in 1930, I'd be so-o grateful. If there is no luck, I can try to Maine Census site. Thanks so much for being there for those of us without the info more easily available. Barbara Barton

Christine, Thanks for your quick reply! I am interested in this person as his name and city/state was printed on an undated photograph of my grandmother. This helps narrow down the time frame of when the photo may have been taken. Does the census index also show him at the Exchange Street address where his photography shop was?

Hello Everyone, I would greatly appreciate a census lookup for Isadore S. FONFARA. He was living in Chicopee, Hampden County, MA. His occupation was photographer. He was a boarder at 238 School Street. He also had a photography shop which was located at 235 Exchange Street. Thanks much for your assistance. Susan

Many thanks to Christine and Dee for the quick response. You made my day! Barbara

Betty: First - and foremost - congratulations on becoming a grandmother!!!! I am so happy that you have pieced together most of your grandmother's life. That is quite an accomplishment. One question - how did you find out that she was given the name Daisy Waltrous at birth as you said no birth or adoption certificate exists? Lucy Whoever said "Seek and ye shall find" was not a genealogist.

Hello, I have been placing queries about my grandmother for a couple of years now. She was "a foundling" in Boston in 1889. And, in 1892 she was adopted by an older couple while they were living in Melrose. (They had just moved there from Killingly, CT, and they were in their late 50's in 1892.) In the spring of 1899, Mrs. Mary DEXTER died, and Mr. John DEXTER would probably have not been allowed to raise his adopted daughter. The house was sold and John seems to have moved to a rooming house in Boston. I had placed many queries about trying to find out where my grandmother went to live. And, I want to thank ALL the researchers VERY much .. who attempted to find her in the 1900 Census. This summer I found out that I had access to the Heritage Quest web site through my local library, and every once in a while I do searches on Census information there. Last week I hit it lucky! My grandmother was given the name, Mary Anna Clark DEXTER, at her Adoption. * But, on at least one occasion she was known as Mary Anna CLARK. I don't know why I found it this time, but I found a Mary CLARK, Age 10, who was living in the Boston Female Orphans Asylum (aka Boston Female Asylum). At that time it was on Washington Street in Boston. Voila' !! At some point .. maybe around 1905, maybe when she turned 16, she went to live in "The Temporary Home for Women and Children" on (then) Chardon Street in Boston. And, she remained there probably until ~1909. At that point her girlfriend was allowed to go live with her widowed father in Medford, MA, and my grandmother went to live there also. They are in the 1910 Census there. There my grandmother met her future husband, and on Christmas Eve, 1911, they walked to a Minister's house and asked him to marry them. I probably can't find out how many years my grandmother was living in each "facility." But, I was very surprised to find out that my grandmother had spent half of her youth .. living in different places in Downtown Boston. One "glitch" in the works is that I found out that John DEXTER went to live in the Tewksbury State Hospital in 1904 and in 1905 he died there. In his records, he had 3 visitors. One of them was listed as his daughter, "Mamie," who was living on Vernon Street in Norwood at the time. John's only other child was his birth-daughter, Clara, who was married and living in Killingly, CT, at the time. (She did not visit him.) I had no idea what this Norwood connection was .. until this week when I discovered that Mrs. Mary DEXTER's relatives were living in Norwood from ~1909 on. Her older step-siblings had the surname, LAVARE, and her step-sister had the married name, Mrs. Lavinia VINAL. (All were in Bristol County, MA, or Little Compton, RI, as far as I know.) My grandmother would have been Age ~15 in 1904 when she might have visited her Adoptive father. And, her "cousin?" would have been Age ~10 or 11 in 1904. So, there is a chance, that this LAVARE family took my grandmother in for a year or two, or possibly she was allowed to stay with them for a few summers. ...As I have mentioned before, I had found a "distant cousin" in CT who is a descendant of that LAVARE family. We compared family photos, and there is a strong family resemblance. My family had always believed that John and Mary DEXTER were the grandparents of my grandmother. But, this does not appear to be true. My "cousin in CT" has "guessed" that the DEXTER's themselves were the birth-parents .. having had a late-in-life pregnancy. This "theory" is bolstered by the fact that the DEXTER's left a large farm and life-long home in Killingly, CT, to move to Melrose, MA -- right around the same time this baby girl was born in Boston, MA. And, during her early years with the DEXTER's, my grandmother was hidden away in the back rooms of the home when important company came to visit. And, because of a conversation my grandmother overheard while living there, the DEXTER's did know .. the circumstances of her birth. But, a few years ago I went to Probate Court in Cambridge and had her Adoption file opened. Of course, the few pieces of paper said "NOTHING is known of the birth-mother." And, both my mother and I have looked for a birth certificate, and NONE exist for my grandmother. John DEXTER worked at a Courthouse at the time, and I believe he made the birth certificates "disappear." (one for birth and one for adoption). That is all I'll write for today. I just wanted to make sure that people know that "successes" do take place, and no matter how small .. each one is another piece for the large jig-saw puzzles we are working on. And, I wanted to make sure I thanked everyone who had helped me in my searches. ... I haven't been able to be at my computer too much this summer and fall .. as ..I.. became a grandmother for the first time in June! :o) * "Somehow" my grandmother was given the name, Daisy WATROUS, at her birth. I believe she might have been in a hospital for her first 3 months, as she did not become a "Ward of the State" until she was 3 months old. Thank you for your time.

Hi, I'm requesting lookups in the 1900 and 1920 census for Daniel Ahern and family. The family is listed in the online 1880 U.S. census, living in Holyoke, Hampden, Massachusetts, I have been told by a decendent of the family that they may have still been living there in later years, I'm hoping further information will give me some idea as to when Daniel Ahern died. Details from 1880 are: Daniel Ahern, age 40, born Ireland, parents birthplace Ireland. Mary Ahern, wife, age 41, born Ireland, parents birthplace Ireland. Mary Ahern, daughter, age 20, born Ireland, parents birthplace Ireland. John Ahern, son, age 18, born Ireland. George Ahern, age 16, born England. James Ahern, age 9, born New Brunswk. Elisabeth Ahern, age 7, born New Brunswk. Coleman Ahern, age 5, born New Brunswk. Thank you, Colman Ahern, Berkeley.

1930 Census Dorchester, Suffolk, Mass. Henry Hughes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Would somebody please do a look-up for me in the 1930 census? In 1931, Bridget Hughes Laverty died. Her obituary said she left a brother, Henry Hughes, of Dorchester. Henry Hughes would be around 65 years old (roughly--could be older or younger.) Henry Hughes married in Worcester in 1883--Maggie McCARRON. So she might appear with him in the census, as Maggie or Margaret or something similar. Thank you very much. Margie

Coyne? In the 1920 census, I looked for COAN, CORN, COON, CONE, COHN... I didn't think of looking for COYNE! I have Heritage Quest censuses, so I can't search by soundex, I can only search by heads of household, and I don't have access to the 1930 census. I'll try looking for COYNE in 1920.
