Thanks Jim, but now that answer led to another question. Do you know where the records from that church can be obtained? Did they go up in flames with the church or could I get them from the Diocese Archives? My gr-grandparents also lived on Second Street from 1894-1898. Thanks again for your help.

Can anyone tell me how to find annulment records, death records and adoption records for Bristol Co., Fall River in the years 1899-1902? Also, what Catholic Church would have been located at 274 Second Street, Fall River in May 1900? Thank you for any help you can offer. Nancy

Looking for a birth record and/or an adoption record for William D Pitts, born March 24, 1921 in Fall River, MA. His parent's in the 1930 Ohio census were Omar Pitts and May or Mary ? Pitts. I am helping a family member. Thank you.

Anyone research Daniel A. Crapo son of Daniel and Lydia? I have him on the 1920 Westport census married to Minnie W. living with his 14 year old step daughter Doris Baker. I haven't found any of them on the 1930 census. They were renting a farm at the time so they could have pulled up stakes and gone anywhere. Stefanie -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date.

Hello, Below you will find train, commuter rail and subway routes to The Federation of Genealogical Societies Conference at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston this week (August 30-September 2). Note handicap accessible station icons in the links. Bus routes references are also available on the system wide map. While Boston traffic will be light during this pre-Labor Day vacation week, parking and hotel savings outside the city, combined with the extensive public transportation system, is a very convenient option.

Just wanted you all to know that once again St. John's Cemetery staff in NB has come through for me. I did get in touch with them this morning and got the date I needed so I can get an obituary. Elaine

I have tried calling St. John's Cemetery for a few days and no one answers. They have been very helpful to me in the past. I am trying to get an exact date of death of a person who died in 1940 and I have the name and gravesite location of the person. I am trying to obtain an obituary and I need an exact death date. Does anyone know if the office is closed this week? Thank you. Elaine Sacramento CA
