Hi Dora - I was planning on making a trip to the Vital Records Office next week and if your names aren't extremely common, I will look for the records. What is it exactly that you need? By the way, the main branch of the Boston Public Library does indeed have a genealogy section - called the Microtext Dept. - has old newspapers on microfilm, some census records and lots of street directories. No vital records though. Also, there are several genealogy groups in the area, NEHGS and Mass. Federation of Genealogists to name two. Also a private company called Mass. Docs. does do research for a fee, I've never used them but I've heard its a little pricey. Anyway, send me your names and approximate dates and I'll see what's available. Joanne
