Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/VFB.2ACI/3539 Message Board Post: I am in need of some genealogy help. I have been searching for James and Mary Wright Larkins for several years. First I was told they were from Cambridge, today I was told to look in Springfield, MA.... Soooooooo I am trying to locate if they were in Springfield in 1880. I don't know how many children they had, I have James Wright Larkins and Maud. James Jr left home at 14 never to return, he never told his wife and children much about his family. I know this is very little to go on BUT if you can send any help my way I would be forever grateful.... Cathy Larkins [email protected] After reading this I asked a friend to please help this person and here is the reply I got back....
