Joe, You made no reference to the Massachusetts Census so I assume you have not used it. Although a decennial Massachusetts Census was taken through 1935, only those of 1855 and 1865 have survived. They are available (on microfilm) at the Massachusetts Archives, where you might also find passenger ship records, as well as the MA Vital Records from 1841 through 1915. There was a Rev. Jeremiah Donovan, a Jesuit, at Holy Cross in the 1940s/50s. He would have been born around 1900, I think. Don't recall where he died. The Jesuit Provincial Office in Boston might help you with some background. He taught several years and was made Dean of Students around 1951. Jack
