This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/VFB.2ACI/3387.1 Message Board Post: I don't know how much this would help but there are 2 separate Whalen families in Holyoke. We separate them by Fire Dept. or Police Dept. My side would be the Police Dept. The person to contact would be my Uncle Paul Graves, I'm pretty sure he has done a family tree and he is also the city historian and can be contacted at the Holyoke Public Library. Hope this helps
