PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi Listers, I know Lynfield is in Essex County but I am on vacation and have unsubscribed to all my list except Hampden so I hope someone can help me. I am looking for an LDS Center in MA that is about 2 hours from Portland Maine. One that I believe might be close enough is LDS Family History Center in Lynfield MA. Does anyone know the HOURS and what this Centre is like. ie how many microfilm readers they have. I've read the info at familysearch.com but don't know if they keep the hours up to date. Must be able to keep the driving down to 2 hours one way. If there is a library that carries all the MA Census records that would also work out. I know there is a History Center in Cape Elizabeth Maine near where I am but when I visited two years ago they didn't have all the MA census records. I would greatly appreciate any help.

Hi, Is anyone researching LYNCH? I have hit a snafu! For awhile now I have been trying to find the where abouts of my g.grands John CONNELL and Hannah CULLITY. Their daughter Mary was my paternal grand-mother.I have found Mary CONNELL on a 1900 NY census living with her aunt and uncle Catherine and Michael RYAN. I still could not find John and Hannah in any 1900 census.I am now presuming they have died,since this past week I have found their other daughter,my g.aunt Julia CONNELL,Marys sister, living with a LYNCH family and listed as a niece. The family in 1900 consists of : Julia Lynch 50 wd Hannah 24 s John 21 s Julia 19 s Julia Connell 21 s The family in 1880 consisted of: John Lynch 40 Julia 34 Hannah 6 Mary A. 4 John 1 I was wondering if Julias maiden name could possibly have been CULLITY since she has a daughter Hannah and my g.grand-ma Hannah had a daughter Julia.I do not know the connection to the LYNCH family that makes my aunt Julia a niece.
