This email is cross-posted to the Boston, Boston-States, and Suffolk lists. Greetings, I've made this offer on some other Massachusetts lists and would like to extend it to you. If an image is on the NEHGS's server for the Massachusetts Vital Records 1841-1910 database but listed as "image not available", I can edit the entry so you can view it. So far, my experience shows about half of the entries currently listed as "image not available" actually do have an image. I ask a few things of you for this. - Please send the email directly to me and not the list. My email address is srichart4 ( at ) gmail ( dot ) com - Please use a subject line like "NEHGS Emil Rufilder's Lookups", with Emil Rufilder being your name. This will help me keep track of whose email I've worked on and whose I haven't. - Do not send attachments, please put the data in the body of the email. - Please check to see if the birth, marriage, or death entry you are looking for is still "not" available, before you email me. I have connected or corrected entries for several months and may have done yours already. Nor am I the only one doing corrections. This offer does NOT come with a time limit. If in two months, you find that your Patrick Burke married a Bridget Doherty and you think you have it narrowed down to ten entries or so and some aren't viewable, email me. Nor is this offer restricted to just Boston. If the entry is listed on the database, I'll check it out. Hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Sue Richart NEHGS Volunteer Living in the foothills of the Huckleberry Mountains of Washington State

Sue, Thanks so much. I went to familysearch.org and looked at the 1881 census and found that most of the Newcomb's for Cornwallis NS were Methodist. I will see if I can find any church in Roxbury that might know where I can find information about the marriage and maybe where many of the congregants are buried.

Cheryl, In the 1884 Boston City Directory, there were no Rev. Green(s) (without an E). There were two listed under Greene. J.H. Greene, church type was (UV), h. Waterloo, Dorchester, and an odd abbreviation of "n." followed by Sydney Place. Not sure if the "n." means "near" or something else. I could find no entry for this church under Churches and Ministries and am wondering if he was retired, more or less. The church type of UV stands for Universalist. The Rev. J.H. Greene does not show up in the 1888 nor 1889 city directories. The second was R.L. Greene (M.E.), People's Church, Columbus ave, correspondence Berkely. The R stands for Roscoe. M.E. stands for Methodist Episcopal. The Rev. Roscoe L. Greene does show up in the 1888 and 1889 city directories living at either 3 or 8 Wallace ct. and still connected with the People's Church. I don't have the microfilms of the 1885-1887 city directories. Not sure if this helps or not.

Cheryl, I'm planning on going up to Colville, where my FHC is located, tomorrow. I should be able to find the dear Rev. Green in the city directory. Unless the center isn't open for some surprise reason, I will email you tomorrow afternoon with the information.

Sue- Thanks for the lead - I'll get on it! Ann

Now is probably as good a time as any to remind folks about a very nice and FREE website that helps with Boston research. I am not associated with the folks who put together or maintain this database; I just find it quite useful. Damrell's Fire has a searchable database, http://www.damrellsfire.com/cgi-bin/directory_search.pl , for seven Boston City Directories. Five, which include the 1845, 1850, 1855, 1865, and 1875, have just the names in the database. They also have full contents for the 1870 and 1872 directories. The complete contents give you a leg up looking for certain things like street locations, ward boundaries (extremely helpful for paging through census images), and churches. If you have an address and would like to find what is near by. Take Albany St for example. Go to the Complete Contents of the 1870 directory, click on Boston Street Directory, and you will see the streets that start with A, and Albany is there. The street information is right by its name, in this case they tell you Albany runs from 83 Beach to 88 Eustis and that it runs through wards 7, 8, 10, 11, and 13. Below it you will see Left and Right street numbers and the cross streets. If you were looking for someone at 75 Albany Street, you would spot 88 on the left, 85 on the right with a cross street of Harvard. Next, go back to the 1870 complete contents main page and choose Churches and Ministries. If you know the denomination, look for it and then check the addresses they are located at. In this case, St James Roman Catholic Church is on Harvard at the corner of Albany and it also gives the names of the priests, which matches the previous query for the Rev. William Corcoran. If you want to use the directory to help find which ward a street address is located at and the street name runs through several wards like Albany does, just look up the ward for the neighboring cross streets and you have it. At least with Ancestry.com, instead of querying a name, you can drop down below that, go to the state, then the county, and depending, finally the town, to look at the enumeration districts. Since Boston census pages are segregated by wards, look up the district's description and you can fairly easily find the one or two enumeration districts that covers the address you are looking for. This is extremely handy for places like Newman St (where my grandfather and two of his siblings lived), which disappeared off the face of the map when the Old Colony Housing Project came it. It is also very helpful for East Boston, which lost a number of streets to Logan International Airport. Obviously, you can just do a search on the name and see what comes up. I do have scanned copies of the 1900 street directory. And if you are lucky or cursed enough to be looking for the same surnames of Burke, Kenney, McCarthy, McGaffigan, that I am, I may already have the scanned images for those pages for a number of the directories from the 1880 to 1910 timeframe, plus some of the others. I frequently visit my local FHC and can do some lookups. I hope this makes sense and you find it helpful in tracking down your ancestors. Best of luck to you and may your brick walls come tumbling down. Sue Richart In the snowy and cold foothills of the Huckleberry Mountains of Eastern Washington State

Ann, Take a look at http://www.damrellsfire.com/cgi-bin/bookviewer.pl?b=7&p=188. The main website http://www.damrellsfire.com/cgi-bin/directory_search.pl has either full contents or just names for seven Boston City Directories to include the one you want. The 1870 city directory has the complete contents. Click on that and look for Church and Ministries on the left, click on it. The churches are listed in order of domination, so the Roman Catholic churches start onpage 188. In the right-side column, the sixth entry of St. James is on Harvard corner of Albany. I believe that is the church you are looking for.

Hi, Sue, If you get a minute, will you look for the Catholic church that the following priest was associated with? Rev. William J. Corcoran -h. 75 Albany St. - Boston City Directory -1870 Fr. Corcoran presided at the marriage of my ggrandparents, Wm. O'Connor, and Margaret McCarty in Sept. 1870. Thanks, Ann

Cheryl, What individual conducted the marriage? That is your key to finding the church. If you can get me the name, I can look them up in the Boston City Directories next week when my FHC opens up after the holiday. Sue Sorry about leaving the title the digest name on my first response.
