Hello, I had a nice surprise in the mailbox yesterday. Two letters from Libraries on the West Coast (WA and CA). And, I now have more information for my family-tree research. My great-grandfather had come down from Quebec Province around 1872, and his sister came down ~1879, and their 2 younger brothers, Joseph and Robert KERR, came down in the early 1880's ! They married near Everett, MA, in the late 1880's, and I have had the suspicion that they married 2 sisters from a Scottish family. Around 1900, both couples moved to Everett, WA, and remained there. (Or, so I thought !) They always shared a home, and neither couple had children ! Yesterday I received 3 out of 4 obituaries, and my suspicion was correct. The 2 KERR brothers married 2 MacLEAN sisters.* They had moved to WA State around 1900, but during the 1920's both sisters had passed on. Robert KERR lived to Age 82, and his 1950 obituary stated that his brother, Joseph KERR, was then living in Dorchester, MA. I have no way of knowing when Joe KERR moved back to Massachusetts. But, I was wondering if someone could see if he returned after the death of his wife, and might be in the 1930 Census. Their older brother had remained in Everett / Malden, MA, and died suddenly in 1905. But, they had a sister, Mrs. Mary McINNES, who lived in Somerville. (I don't know when she died.) (It's strange but I never heard my grandfather mention having an uncle in Boston.) When Robert KERR died in 1950, his obituary stated he was survived by his brother, and then a nephew, Arthur YOUNG, in MA. I have "no clue" who this man is ! (The only possibility is that a second sister had married a YOUNG and also came down to MA.) ??? Thank you for your time ! ENJOY your Sunday ! Betty (near Lowell, MA) FYI: I have more information on this extended family, but this is all I'll post for this morning ! (The parents also came down to MA, and died in 1904 and 1902.) The obituary for Mrs. Joseph KERR mentions another sister, unknown first name - Mrs. Edgar BRISON of Nova Scotia, and William MacLEAN of Maine (as of 1920's). From Census information, it appears that a MacLEAN family from Scotland migrated to Nova Scotia ! But, when "Maggie" and "Sadie" were about 10-12, they came down to MA. (I have access to Censuses up to 1920.) (Still having a problem with the LDS site ! Every time I do a search, when I go back to the previous page, I get a "Page has Expired" notice, so I need to re-enter my information -- every time !)
