Posted on: Hampshire Co. Ma Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ma/Hampshire?read=405 Surname: Purdy, Burr ------------------------- Have you checked Vital Records of Worthington MA to the Year 1850? Most listings for births also list parents. Available from New England Historic and Genealogical Society lending library (and at other libraries here and there). http://www.newenglandancestors.org/index.asp? I was in Worthington last month and found many ancestors in the Old North Gate Cemetery, which is west of Worthington Center, and south of the main road going west. It is on the maps for the area (the good atlases which show all streets). The local library has some good old books too (and limited hours).
