I forgot I had the 1928, 1930, 1939 and 1960 New Bedford Directories. 1960, Dr. Clarence Edward Burt, wife Mildred R., physician, 261 Union St., (18-19) residence S D (which I think means South Dartmouth) 1939 Clarence Edw Burt (Mildred R.) physician medical advisor 261 Union Street, residence 1384 Rockdale Ave. 1930 Clarence E. Burt (Mildred R.) physician, 261 Union R18 Cli 1536, house 1384 Rockdale Ave., Cli 1537 There is also a listing at this 1384 Rockdale as The Burt Private Hospital 1928 Clarence E. Burt, physician, 261 Union Room 18, house 1384 Rockdale Ave., Also living at the same Rockdale address is Clara A. Burt, widow of Stephen A. and a Warren C. Burt, cotton classer. There is also a listing at this 1384 Rockdale as The Burt Private Hospital Since they also listed wives in this directory, and Mildred is not listed, I guess you can assume that they married between 1928 and 1930. I will try again to find them in the other census records. I will also ask my family if they ever heard of him. Elaine

Sara, You can get a copy of the obit from the New Bedford Public Library email addy is nbmref@sailsinc.org Site address is: http://www.ci.new-bedford.ma.us/SERVICES/LIBRARY/search.htm In 1880 census living in Berkley MA is the following: S. Alburt (sp) Burt b. June 1849 married 25 years, farm laborer wife: Clara A. b. Aug. 1857 3 children born, 3 children living (but only 2 are listed) ch: Clarence E. b. Nov. 1888 Maria A. b. May 1889 There was also a 2 boarders Thomas & John Powers both 14 living with them. All born in MA. In 1910 E. Clarence Burt, 25, Physician is living at 23 South Sixth St., New Bedford MA. He is single. So far, have not found him in other census records. Also, he should have a WWI Draft Registration but have not found that yet either. Apparently, there is a DAV chapter named after him in New Bedford. http://archives.lib.state.ma.us:8080/dspace/bitstream/2452/7880/1/1986acts0443.txt You might try this site, it will cost you $6 to order the record for a Dr. Clarence Edward Burt, if you think this could be him. http://www.ancestorinfo.com/genealogy,%20doctors%20physicians%201925%20a-c.htm Will keep looking to see what else I can find.

For many years, our family has been stumped as to the origin in the Azores of the MARSHALL family of Norton & Attleboro, Massachusetts. Last year I found a birth record of a child who did not survive and it is the ONLY record which gave the birthplace of the parents as something more specific than: "Western Islands" or "Azores" or "Portugal" It has just now occurred to me that the spelling that I found in that record is a poorly written version of "TERCEIRA" Jose Machado AKA Joseph MARSHALL aka Joseph MARCHAL immigrated about 1897 first to Rhode Island where he and his wife had at least two children then removed to Norton, Bristol, MA after a few years. His wife was known as Mary SEARS but records say her family name was ALVERES. I have always suspected the the SEARS families of Norton and Attleboro MA who had Azorean origin were actually SOARES but have found no concrete proof. Jose Machado born Terceira about 1872 son of John Machado (assume Joao Machado) married Maria Augusta SEARS ALVERES about 1882 somewhere in Azores (probably Terceira) and had at least three children in the Azores before emigrating to Rhode Island about 1897. By 1904 this family was in Norton, MA.

Hi Florence, Thank you. I didn't want to go back and check the North Attleborough images. I had forgotten about that entry until after I did them. There are 18 Lynn pages not connected. I'll work on those. Most of volume 421 wasn't connected. Since the images are of good quality I figured get them done. There have been a ton of column shifts. For some reason, it seems easier than when I'm working by town. Not sure why. This way, I tend to view them as something to get done and not just an annoyance. It helps that I moved all the index images for this group over to my hard drive and I'm not having to change disks to look to see if an error is a column shift or scanning error. I haven't decided whether I want to ask the webmaster for the other birth volumes in this five year period or go to another five-year period for marriages and deaths to look for column shifts. The former should go faster since most of the column shifts will be done. The latter would help find problem areas for marriages and deaths which are in worse shape in the database than births are in. As there are 722 pages with 22 thousand entries in the volume, I'll have time to make up my mind.
