    3. Hello, I just went to the web site for the Chelmsford Historical Society to see if they had any events coming up this Spring ! And, I was reminded of the new part of their web site which offers the names of the "historical homes" in town, along with the names of the homes -- http://wwc.townofchelmsford.us/CHCwebsite/chc_history_files.htm Also shown are a picture of some of the historical cemeteries; I think 2 of them might be currently located in Lowell ! http://wwc.townofchelmsford.us/CHCwebsite/Cemeteries.htm And, this page has a list of some surnames important in Chelmsford's history -- http://www.chelmhist.org/archives.htm The page on the KIDDER name was provided by .. me ! (I also provided the page on KIDDER for the web site for the Billerica Historical Society.) One thing I've been surprised at is that a large neighborhood in current southwestern Chelmsford is associated with the BYAM name, and yet we very rarely see that surname mentioned on the Lists. http://www.chelmhist.org/index.htm Enjoy your day ! Betty (near Lowell, MA) P.S. One of the things on my very long "Genealogy-to-do-List" is to also do a write-up for the CROSBY name in 1600's Billerica. My great-great-grandmother, nee' Adelaide Crosby HUTCHINSON, was descended from George HUTCHINSON of Charlestown, MA, and Simon CROSBY of Billerica, MA. P.S.2 I had mentioned the GREEN Cemetery in Carlisle in another post this morning. When I looked it up, I discovered that it is the small, historic cemetery just south of Carlisle Center on Rt. 225. And, I was just there a few months ago for the burial of my neighbor's brother ! A quick story about my new neighbors is that, when my neighbor (in late 70's), also named Betty, got married, she moved from Arlington to Billerica ! When I got married in 1960's, I moved from Arlington to Billerica ! And, the other Betty had lived only a few houses from me -- but her husband had moved the family to northern NH some 10 years before I got there ! We have come to find out that this NEEDHAM family and my friend and I have many "coincidences." (This family returned to MA to have a small farm nearby in Carlisle.)
