Thanks, Sue- I'm glad they are working on the problem. I've been able to get some info, and then the site seems to crash -right now, it won't even open. Thanks for the heads up! Ann

Greetings, As those of you with a subscription to the NEHGS website know already, the newenglandancestors site is very slow and difficult to get into. In a reply to my email about this, the webmaster said that the NEHGS staff is aware of the difficulties, but haven't figured out exactly what is causing it. Thought you might like to know that they are checking into it. Sincerely, Sue Richart NEHGS Volunteer In hot, hot, hot Stevens County, Washington State

Sorry for the cross-post to several lists, but hoping to find someone who is experienced in old church records, old dating systems, and can help me verify an entry ..... On Google Books (praise those people for their efforts!!) I find the Dorchester First Church records, a copy made in 1891 of the original volume, URL for those following along: http://books.google.com/books?id=0-xzW5V-AzoC&pg=PA1&dq=Records+of+the+First+Church+at+Dorchester . The copied page says this on p. 151: "Rebecca Wiswall : 2di 6to 1639, born the 3d of the same mo: about 7 aclocke in the eveninge: (marryed mr Curtice)" On page xxv, the "Notes of the Copyist" state that this date is Apr 6 1639. I am familiar with the OS dates, that the 2nd month would be April. It appears that the dates in this section are in Latin? For example, on p. 152, there is an entry :Joseph Willies (went to Boston) 12me Vicesimo 3tio 1639. And Just after that: "Anna Waterhouse 1me: 5to Decimo 1640:" These entries totally confuse me! Anna Waterhouse first, fifth, tenth 1640 ?!and Joseph Willies twelfth, twentieth, third 1639?? The only real reason I'm questioning is that The Rebecca Wiswall mentioned is an indirect part of my line, and I find her birth date published (Wiswall Handbook) as 03 Jun 1639. <picking nits!> So I read as the copyist did, that she was born 3 Apr 1639, and baptised 6 Apr 1639, yes? The "2di" and the "6to" being <translated from Latin?> second sixth 1639, in otherwords, it's not specifying which is day and which is month? But the balance of the dates bear out the order which is in the form of month first, day next, followed by year? Cheers, Bobbie Hall Chicago

Ann, There is more than one Mary A. O'Connor listed on the actual index, but I can't seem to get in the database either. When it isn't quite so slow, I'll do some checking. I can't guarantee anything, since marriages have the most truly missing images, particularly the time frame you are looking at.

The phone number for Mt. Benedict Cemetery is 617-323-8389. You might get some information from them. The City of Boston Cemetery Dept. is 617-635-7361 or Lancaster Town Hall (I don't see that they have a Cemetery Dept.) is 978-368-1528. Hope this helps.

Hi, Sue- I've been cruising around the NEHGS, and have found one piece of information that seemed to be a brick wall - I found my grandmother's birth record! I've been looking for years based on the birth years that show up on most of her documents -1875 -1878-no one could find it -that's because she was born in 1874! I stumbled across it by looking for her parents' names. Now I need to find her first marriage - the NEGHS site is struggling right now, and I can't get to any pages. There was one MARY A. O'CONNOR listed in Vol. 503, pg # 236, but it says that no image is available, so even when the pages are opening that page won't be there. Could I beg a lookup for her marriage? I'm not sure that the one I've cited is the right one, but it's got to be there somewhere. Her info - Mary Ann O'Connor - b. Dec. 16, 1874-born in Boston. Parents - William H. O'Connor Margaret L. McCarty/McCarthy Mary was living with her mother in 1900, and was listed as a saleswoman. She was also using the name O'Connor. She married my grandfather in 1903 -I have that record. The first marriage may have taken place between 1894 (based on her birthday) and 1900, with a divorce and a return to a maiden name OR between 1900 and 1903, with the same scenario. She was Mary A. O'Connor when she married my grandfather in 1903, with a note on the record that hers was a second marriage with a divorce. If you can find that first marriage, I can probably find the divorce record. I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks, Ann

Val, Have you looked up all the Esty deaths before 1887 in NewEnglandAncestors.org yet, to try to locate some also buried at Mt. Benedicts? (You could limit searches to Worcestor or Suffolk county if there are too many hits.) Since Lancaster is in Worcester County, I would doubt her death would be listed in the Boston papers. And I believe you will only find just the one death record, since it appears she died where she lived. But keep in mind that town or city records can be a little different from the state, so you might consider emailing the town clerk for Lancaster and asking them if they can check that death record (give them all the info), and does it provide any extra information. (For example, they might have the actual street address of death, which might match the daughter's in 1880.) And write to the public library to ask about the local newspapers for that time period and what you are looking for. I have people buried at Mt. Benedict too, but have not been able to get further info. Here's hoping someone might have better how-to info for us on that!

Hi All, This is my first posting and hope someone can help. I'm looking for my Great Great Grandmother, Mary Ann Nichols (1820 - ????) who married Jonathan? Esty. According to the 1870 Census she was living in Lawrence, Middlesex County, MA with her two children Joseph and Mary. I haven't been able to find her in the 1880 census but her daughter Mary was in Lancaster, Worcester County, MA. I found a death record for Mary Ann Esty in Lancaster in Oct 1887 which could be my GG Grandmother but nothing in the record gives personal information: [Death Record: 4 Oct 1887 Mrs. Mary A. Esty female age 64 of Lancaster, Mass Cause of death: Abdominal Hernier under this is written 12 Oct Buried: Mt.[St] Benadict, Boston [could be Mt. Benadict Cemetery in Boston which I believe may be Mt. Benedict's in West Roxbury] I'm looking for any help to get more information on this death. Is anyone familiar with the Mt. Benedict's Cemetery and if I could get burial records and how. To me it was curious that she wouldn't have been buried in Lancaster where she died. My thoughts are that maybe her parents or husband was buried in Mt. Benedict's or maybe that is the Cemetery that Roman Catholics would have used in Lancaster especially if they were poor. Also if someone goes to the Lancaster or Boston library I would appreciate a look up for a possible obit or funeral announcement. (Died Oct 4 1887, Buried Oct 12 1877) One last thought. I have another ancestor that died in 1904 in Boston, temporarily buried in a tomb in her hometown of Stoneham for the winter and then moved to Leominster for the burial in the spring. Death Records were issued in all three places and only 2 were identical. Could another death record exist? I checked the Massachusetts Vital Records, 1841-1910 on the New England Ancestors.org but only found the one for Lancaster. Is there a place to check for West Roxbury and Boston Records from 1887 rather than depending on that site. Val

Dear Bobbie and other listers, I received this query from Bobbie about 1848 images. Since I've had something similar before, replying to Bobbie and the two lists seems a good idea. Basically, when you are searching from 1841-1849, you need to expand your query to cover a two-year period. In this case, these are with a few exceptions, all listed as 1848-49. There will be some only listed for one year, but they are very much the exception. To see what I mean, query for Boston, volume 41 and just 1848. You'll get one entry. If you change the query to start year 1848 and end year 1849, you will get 5,400 entries. I might suggest you don't all do the second query, because it will really bog down the system. I'm not sure all of the reasons why there is sometimes only a single year listed, but for the few I've seen, it is usually a late registration. Also note, late registrations starting past about 1870 will often times not be connected to the image. One of the problem errors I've been correcting are connecting the late registration entries. Usually you can tell if there are a few entries for a page all with the same surname but different years or there are a number of entries on the page with a wide variety of years. The rest of the time they are scanning errors or column shifts. I've done probably 50,000 corrections and I can't tell for sure without checking the image. I strongly urge that when you come across an "image not available" you query then only for the volume and page number. Often enough, one or more of the entries for that page will be connected.

Recent repairs of column shifts effecting the NEHGS Massachusetts Vital Records 1841-1910 on-line database (www.newenglandancestors.org). 1891-1895 Births column shift on year and lots of scanning errors effecting surname Besaucan, Besbee, Bescotto, Beseat, Besena, Besette, Beshaw, Beshier, Beshlzo, Beshong, Beskop, Besky, Beslon, Besmoria, Besnia, Beso, Besoe, Besoid, Besozzi, Bessailliou, Bessanti, Besse, and Besser. 1891-1895 Births scanning error on surname Striley. 1891-1895 Births scanning error on surname Swinson. 1896-1900 Births scanning error on surname Schlicht. 1896-1900 Births column shift on town effecting Schlosberg, Schlosky, Schloss, Schlossberg, Schlossburg, Schlosser, and Schlosstein. 1861-1865 Marriages column shift on volume effecting Griswold, Groat, Groce, Groeley, Grogan, Groghan, Groh, Groham, Grose, Grossman, Grostick, and Grother. 1896-1900 Marriages scanning error on surname McSweeney, currently reads MeSweeney. Probably won't be fixed for a couple more weeks. 1896-1900 Marriages column shift on surname effecting Savage, Savan, Savard, Savaria, Savarie, Savary, Saveall, Saveau, Savels, Saveni, Saver, Savetsky, Savetz, Savia, Saviano, Savickas, Savier, Savignac, and Savilampi. 1896-1900 Deaths column shift on volume effecting Lewis, additionally maiden names mangled by scanning errors. Additionally, I've connected just the first entry on a page for a number of records and plan on doing a great many more this way. I might suggest that you just query volume and page number for any entry that reads "image not available". Most of these are for 1890 to 1900 birth and marriage entries. You can click on the first entry's "View Image" to see the image. Once I'm done with a county's section, I will post to that list. Finally, the webmaster mentioned that volunteers are going to being adding the missing index pages. My guess is there are close to 100,000 missing names from the index, so this will be a great help. Best of luck in your search. Sue Richart NEHGS Volunteer

Greetings to the GenMassachusetts and Suffolk lists, Below is a list a corrections I've made within the last couple of months to the NEHGS' Massachusetts Vital Records 1841-1910 on-line database. In addition, I've linked a number of pages to their images. These are only the entries that I have worked on and do not include any actions by Mr. Ledden of the NEHGS forum or other volunteers. I still have a long list of possible column shifts to work on and will try to post my recent corrections on a weekly basis to the GenMassachusetts and Suffolk lists. I'm not sending this to the other county lists to minimize folks getting duplicate emails. Additionally, in another email later this week, I'll list the towns I have worked on and which images are NOT available on the server. Once both these emails show up on the archives, I'll let the other Massachusetts county lists know where to find them. The reason for including Suffolk is it is a rare column shift that does not affect Suffolk County entries. This list does not include scanning error corrections, because they are just too numerous. I wish you the best of luck in your search. Sincerely, Sue Richart NEHGS Volunteer 1841-1949 Births column shift on surname Smith.

Does anyone have access to the city directories for Boston between 1910 and 1920? If so, would you mind trying to find the following: Frank Cook and his wife Mary (Leen) Cook disappeared from the census between 1910 and 1920, so I assume they died. Frank was a foreman for a liquor bottling company. They were living with his wife's widowed sister-in-law, Margaret Leen, at 61 Centre Ct. in Roxbury, from 1892 to 1910. Margaret remained there until 1924 when she died. (Her death is listed in the 1925 city directory.) I am hoping maybe one of the directories lists the deaths of Frank and/or Mary.
