Maybe it is our bad accent.....but I hardly ever hear anyone pronounce the e in Billerica. So....BILLRICA is fine with us !! Not even the newscasters, known for eliminating any type of regional accent no matter where they come from....they do not even pronounce it with the e. :-) Jodi Andover MA USGenWeb Town Coordinator _www.rootsweb.com/~macandov_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~macandov/index.htm) Marblehead MA USGenWeb Town Coordinator _www.rootsweb.com/~macmarbl_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~macmarbl/) Tewksbury (State) Hospital Cemetery Project _http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~tewksburyhospital/cemeterywelcome.ht ml_ (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~tewksburyhospital/cemeterywelcome.html)
