Go to Google maps type in address "114 Town Hill Street West Quincy" you can see the house and neighborhood in "street view" street was taken in 2009 It is a 2 story with 1 window on the first floor and 3 on the second. You can look around the house by maneuvering you mouse. I assume you could do the same for the other address. .......john -----Original Message----- From: manorfol-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:manorfol-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of gc-gateway@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 10:45 PM To: MANORFOL@rootsweb.com Subject: [Norfolk Co MA] West Quincy help!!

If so e-mail me at barb19401@verizon.net, and I'll give you my address, I will gladly pay for developement if if you send receipt with phots and of course postage. The photo's I'm interested in are 114 Town Hill Street(its at the Center street end of town hill) 38 Suomni Rd The church that use to be the Finnish Luthern Church(think its on Copland--haven't been to Quincy since 1978 so memory is a bit rusty) and what use to be the Willard Street School. I think someone told me its an office bldg now or condo. I went to the 1st and 2nd grade in that school before out family moved. The two address(town hill, and Sumoni Rd) were houses my grandparents had lived in as did my parents and us kids for a while. My grandparents were Alfred Nelson and Sylvia M Piispanen they had both been born in Kivijarvi Finland, and married in Quincy in 1908, had my dad Feb 19 1909 in Quincy. He was an only child and died in 1952. They died in 1941 and 1978 respectively. Thank you so much Barb Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Hello 'pdoher', I've some Brown's who may be of interest to you: THE FAMILY OF GEORGE LAVERTY & ELIZABETH BROWN |William|Isaac| Jane|John|Elizabeth| Matilda| George LAVERTY, born 1782 in Ireland, died July 1866 in Oak Mountain, Woodstock Parish, Carleton County, New Brunswick, buried 31 July 1866, by the Anglican minister of Woodstock, N.B., burial site unknown. He married Elizabeth (BROWN) LAVERTY. Notes for George LAVERTY: After extensive research in New Brunswick and Ireland for the roots of the LAVERTY family, no records have been found to establish the birthplace of George. Family members believe it was County Armagh. Research by Armagh Ancestry, 42 English St., Armagh, N. Ireland in 1993 covered Presbyterian records only. They suggested looking at Church of Ireland data. It would appear that George and Elizabeth arrived in North America c.1816, as census records show that William was born in Ireland in 1815 and Isaac in New Brunswick in 1817. We have no information on their early years except for the birth of John in Maugerville, Sunbury County., in 1825. A fire in the church rectory there in 1845 destroyed existing records. An 1877 fire in the Saint John Customs House affects early immigration records which might have provided some clue to George's origins. The earliest record we have is a statement from Michael O'Donnell dated 18 July 1832 transferring his claim for land to George Laverty and a petition by George Laverty for said land in Richmond Settlement, Carleton County, Lot 10, Tier 2 dated 24 August 1835. This property is shown on map #111 of Land Grants in the name of William Laverty, granted to him 6 September 1860. It contains 200 acres in the area known as Oak Mountain, just south of Speerville, near Debec. In 1997 this property was owned by Gordon Acott, R.R.#5, Debec, N.B.EOJ1JO (Property Ident. #10086551. We do not know the exact burial place of George. PANB F-1094 Anglican Church Records, Woodstock Parish lists his burial on 31 July 1866, age 84 years, by Rev. S.D. Lee Street. Anglican burials at that time took place in the cemetery at Lower Woodstock. Lee Street himself is buried there. There is no Laverty stone and perusal of an early map at the Anglican church in Woodstock in 1997 showed no record. Many of the old graves and stones were moved when the Mactaquac Dam was built. We know nothing of the death and burial of George's wife, Elizabeth. He may have been buried with her. She died before 1851 as he is listed as a "widower" in that census. The Laverty property in Oak Mountain borders on what later became the cemetery for St. Andrew's Presbyterian (later United) church. St Andrew's was built in 1886 and an earlier church south of that location in 1868, both after George's death. The owner of the land, Gordon Acott, has no knowledge of any graves on his property."

I hope it bears fruit! If you have anything pertaining to Limerick, ME; or Danville (Auburn), Cape Elizabeth, or also Haynes family in the Mount Desert area, I would be interested. Mainly I am looking for Pierce family from Limerick, ME from late 1700's through 1800's. Also, 2 Pierce men seem to have gone from Limerick way up to Baring, ME for some reason. I have an email pal who relates to George Pierce of Baring, ME, who was apparently from Limerick but we can't figure out who his parents were. Don't go crazy over it...but if you happen to have anything relating to those areas or families, let me know. Let me know how you make out with the obit request!

General rough guide for oldest to newest is main entrance off Wash St, Rt53(Stone Columns), past caretakers hut straight back to pond is oldest, then over to right towards Middle St, and I have family in that area that was laid there same general time frame as you are looking for. Area from two other Wash St entrances(where big semi circular drive around is) is the "newer area". I grew up straight across pond from cemetery and as a kid played football as it was just an open field, that woulda been mid-lates 60's. Caretaker there is only PT now(and VERY PT)all work at cemetery now contracted, probably not going to get in touch with him. Cemetery owned by church of same name in S Weymouth, no clue if calling there would be any help. I'll keep an eye out for "your" names when I'm visiting, and I'm there walking around 3 or 4 times a month, I know ALOT of the names in there.

What was once a tiny glen is now a sanctuary of peace and beauty. It has offered solace to the bereaved for over 125 years. St. Francis Xavier Cemetery is owned and maintained by St. Francis Xavier Parish under the administration of Pastor Eugene P. Sullivan for all parishes of Weymouth. In the past few years, many improvements have been made by Father Sullivan and the Cemetery Advisory Board--new roads, a new water system, attractive signs, lawn care and plowing, and a computer program to preserve cemetery records. At this time, no lots are available for purchase, however, the Advisory Board is undertaking a project to update all owners addresses or their designees with the hope of contacting those who have moved and may not be going to use remaining lots. Those lots may be donated back to the Cemetery for future use. Tax credit certificates will be issued for such donations. Due to the extreme high cost of upkeep of the cemetery, donations and remembrances in wills are always encouraged. Lot owners must think of the future of the cemetery and whether it remains as it was intended.
