I thought I had seen every way that Rondo/Rondeau could be misspelled! This does help because I can see that this is not the family in my line. This Mary is too old and I believe she is the one who died in Adams in 1870. I do appreciate your help. I'm still searching if anyone else has any tips for me!

Place of birth: Bolton, VT. 1860 Census, Bolton, Chittenden County, Vermont, Page: 6; (Attached) shows the family of John and Louisa "Rombeau". The names of the children (Mary (age 16) Laura, Sarah, Harriet, Paulena, Louis,Gerar (?) and Joseph) match those of the children of John and Louise Rondo on the 1870 census in Adams, MA. If you can obtain a birth record for a Mary Rondeau or Rombeau born to John and Louisa around 1844-48 you may be able to confirm your hunch. Good luck.

I am trying to figure out if the William age 5 and born in 1865 is the William SURINER b: ABT. 1865 who might be (William Wheaton Suriner) father of my grandmother Ethel E. Suriner originally from Becket ma. I saw that other then Francis all of them were listed as having no children does that mean no children are listed or actually never had children? Below is a census that someone had asked a question about that I came across and I am wondering if anyone has information about this census in there data base that might help me.

I have found the 1870 census for their family in Adams. I haven't found anything for them before or after 1870 other than the sons info. I suspect they are the parents of my gr-gr-grandmother Mary Melvina who was born in Vermont in Feb 1850, she married there in 1866 and moved on to Minnesota. John and Louise had several children born in Vermont. Laura 1848, Sarah 1851, Paulean/Pauline 1853, Lewis/Louis--May 1854, Jerry--March 1856, and John was born in MA in 1868. I suspect John was a grandchild. I have found a Mary Rondo who died in 1870 in Adams and I thought this might be her child. I have found info for Lewis and Jerry and possibly John from later censuses. I noticed that the name switches from Rondo to Rondeau so records may be under either name. I would really like to know who the elder John's parents might be. He was born approx. 1816 in Canada. His wife Louise was born approx. 1819 in Canada. All of the ages for the children are approximate. If there is any info on where in Vermont their children were born that would be a great help so I know where to look for Mary Melvina's birth records. This is the only John Rondo that I have found that had children in Vermont at the right time. I would appreciate any info on any member of this family. Birth, death, burial, marriage, etc. Thank You.

I have evidence that Anna Terrill remarried in 1819, so I know that she did not die before the marriage of Thaddeus and Julia. I have found no evidence that the Thaddeus that married Anna.

I had not tried to look using the BOLLAND derivation. This is a big help and I bet that it's her. I see other familiar names from that boarding house list that were connected to the family in LaSalle Co. such as John McCabe and Patrick Manion. Bridget's hsb. Dennis was a brother to Patrick B. Manning (Name spelled Mannion in Ireland) and worked for John McCabe. Dennis and John were blacksmiths after moving to LaSalle Co. and Patrick was a wagon maker. Dennis went to the Civil War in place of John. John's son Joseph married Dennis and Bridget's daughter. I really appreciate all you have done! It's certainly a small world when you get doing genealogy and you find how many people have similar connections in counties such as LaSalle. It was quite a hub due to the railroads and canals and coal mines and zinc plants. Being on the Illinois river made the access from Chicago easy. There was alot of ethnic division and the town, though small, had numerous catholic churches for each ethnic group. Thank you again!!! What is the likelihood that there would be obituaries available for David and Mary Boland Heaton? I know in larger urban areas it's poor. Do you know what newspapers I should order microfilm from?

Incidentally, La Salle County, Illinois was a big gathering place for immigrants for a number of years. Both of my wife's Norwegian and Swedish ancestors lived there in the period 1885-1920.

Hi listers,   The marriage of Albert Packard and Susan Crawford, both of Lee, was said to have occured in Canaan, NY on or abt. 15 Dec. 1877.  Is there anyone who would be willing to check the microfilm of the Gleaner to see if the marriage notice appeared in the newspaper?  I have been in touch with the town clerk in Canaan and informed that no records were kept at that time.  Any help would be deeply appreciated.   Judy, in NC

Also, I don't see them in the 1850 or 1860 sensus. I DO see a Bridget Bolan born in Ireland in about 1838 living in Pittsfield in the 1860 Census, though. Also, I can see a marriage in 1860 of an Ann Boland, born Ireland about 1838 to a Patrick D Bradley, born in Ireland about 1836. Unfortunately, no parents names are listed for Ann There is also a Peter Boland who was married in Pittsfield in 1855 but his parents were John and Mary. I am wondering if Thomas and Ann lived somewhere other than Berkshire County but that a couple of their daughters went to Pittsfield to work in the mills?

They came to the US about 1848 with what I believe were at least 4 kids. 1) Mary born 1831 married David Heaton lived in Pittsfield kids: Jos., David, John, and Annie J. 2) Bridget born 1836 moved to Peru, LaSalle Co., IL and married Dennis Manning in 1867, died in 1909. Kids: Mary Agnes (Mamie) Ellen/Nellie, John, Anna Virginia. 3) Patrick b 1829 married Mary, had some children in Illinois in early 1860s and moved to Fairfax, Linn Co., Iowa near Cedar Rapids by 1870. Kids: Peter, Thomas, Nellie, Frank, Joseph, Michael, Annie born between 1860-1878. 4) Michael born 1837 married Mary and lived in LaSalle Co., Illinois, Linn Co., Iowa, and in 1877 moved to Ivesdale, Champaign Co., IL where he died in 1888. kids: Margaret Emma, John, Elizabeth, Peter, James, Mary, William, Nellie, Walter, more or less I imagine all of these 4 kids spent some time in Pittsfield prior to 1867. Their birthdates vary with the census over a range of years from 1825-1840. I am working on proving a connection of these 4 kids to Thomas and Ann Boland. Family lore says that Mary Heaton was a sister to Bridget Boland Manning but my photograph collection also has photos of Patrick and Michael. My grandma who was not related to them wrote that they were cousins of Grandma Manning on them, but I am sure they are brothers to Bridget Boland Manning and to Mary Boland Heaton and that they may have lived briefly in the Pittsfield area from 1848 through 1860. If you find anything else on Bolands from Pittsfield, I would be glad to get it! No matter what, you have helped me so much now that I have lots and lots of leads to follow. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!

I am thinking that it is likely that it was Joseph and Catherine. They came in the time frame 1915-1924.I am thrilled with all this information you have so generously share because it is going to help me with identifying alot of photos I have from Pittsfield. If you have an opportunity, could you see if there is any further information on Thomas and Ann Boland, the parents of Mary Boland Heaton? Thomas must have been born about 1800 in Ireland. (My gg.grandma's obituary says they came over about 1848 from Kings Co. Ire.) Is there any death record for Thomas Boland between 1845 and 1875 in the Pittsfield area? Thank you times 50!
