Is anyone related to this couple? They married supposedly on 22 July 1882 in Worcester, Mass. Not sure if they had children, but possibly one named "Grace". Can someone do a lookup on the 1900,10,20,30 census? Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Researching the following lines: Theodore RUSSO, died Fitchburg, 8/18/2000, born in prob. Fitchburg. Married to ????. Had sons Andrew Anthony Russo Sr. and Philip Russo. Reme DAUPHINAIS, b. Fitchburg abt 1900-1910 est., died Fitchburg, married Alice Margaret/Margaret Alice CROTEAU/Crouteau of Fitchburg. Both died in Fitchburg. Looking for their parents names, dob, and place of birth. Reme and Alice had Cecile Marie, Henry, and Teresa. Teresa married a Butler. Henry was a Catholic Priest in the Order of the LaSalette. Believe Reme Dauphinais may have descended from the Reme Dauphinais line out of QC Canada through Joseph and Clerina Bedard but have not verified. If anyone has genealogical info. on either of these three lines, please let me know. Thanks!

THANK YOU!!!!! Clown16, whomever you are. I have only just joined this list, and already you have helped me to destroy a brick wall. This son, Alva, who turned up in both the birth- and deathregister confirms that this Jerome is the right person for us, because we know that Emmie was my husband's grandmother. However, we didn't know that they lived in Rhode Island! Emmie must have moved to Worcester later, then, because her youngest daughter, Sylvia, was born there. So, still looking for the marriage date of Jerome and Emmie, the search now narrowed down to 1895 to 1907, and probably to 1895 to 1903, looking at the other two entries! Thanks again, Eliane Heseltine

Richard, Cleoparta MAMM-MAN-MAMO is a very unusual name, any info you want to share? John

Hello listers, I am new to this list, so let me start by introducing myself. My name is Eliane Heseltine, nee Mok. I live in Zoetermeer, The Netherlands. After working on my own family-history for a couple of years I took up the familyhistory of my husband, which is a lot more difficult, because that family has roots all over the world. Since it is quite difficult to travel that far for all the necessary information I make quite a lot of use of mailing-lists. Up until now my research has been aimed at the UK (Yorkshire in particular), but part of the family lived in Worcester for a while, which is why I would like to enlist your help. If I can assist any of you with a lookup in dutch archives, I will be happy to (try and) oblige. At the moment I am looking for any information on the following people: Emmie (or Emma) ARMITAGE (born 1873? in Huddersfield, Yorkshire) moved to Worcester (certainly the county, as far as I know the town) as a young woman, and got married to Jerome GAREAUX. They had five daughters, the youngest of which is Sylvia, born in 1912. A couple of months before Sylvia was born Jerome dissappeared, presumed dead. Some years later Emmie returned to the UK with her daughters. She died in 1932. Most important at the moment: when and where did Emmie and Jerome get married? What are the birthdates and names of the other 4 daughters? Could anyone help me please? Thank you very much Eliane Heseltine --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I emailed my State Rep (Pat Walrath-D) and she promptly had her secretary send me a copy of the House Bill #5158, which deals with MA Vital records. It is true. Our darling "public servants" are at it again, restricting our rights and increasing our tax burden. MA General Laws have always provided open and free access to review vital records such as births, marriages and deaths. Only until recently, with the misguided media hype concerning child "safety" and identity "theft," have these long-standing rights been inhibited by restricting access to anyone's birth record below the age of 18. We were told then that this would solve the problem and no more restrictions would be necessary. Well, the genie is out of the bottle and now we're faced with SEVERE restrictions. I am both alarmed and infuriated. This trend is dangerous to a free society and it certainly limits my ability to do legitimate genealogical and local historical research. It will limit your ability for such too. Page 6 of the House Bill #5158 pamphlet states the following: "Section 10. Chapter 46 of the General Laws, as appearing in the 2000 Official Edition, is hereby amended by striking out section 2A and inserting in place thereof the following section: --- "Section 2A. (1) On January 1, 2004, all records and indices pertaining to births through December 31, 1910, any amendments to births filed prior to December 31, 1910, records and indices of marriages and deaths through December 31, 1950, and any amendments to marriages and deaths filed prior to December 31, 1950, shall become public records. . . . "Once vital records, indices and amendments of births, marriages and deaths become public records under this subsection [NOTE: only birth records prior to Dec. 31, 1910 and only marriage and death records prior to Dec. 31, 1950 will be considered "public records" ! ], the custodians of such records may make such records available for public examination upon request not withstanding any general or special law that would otherwise RESTRICT ACCESS. (2) Vital records, reports, and indices maintained as part of the system of vital records and statistics by custodians other than the archivist of the commonwealth ARE NOT PUBLIC RECORDS as defined in clause 26 of section 7 of chapter 4 and are not subject to public inspection and copying under chapter 66, with the exception of those vital records made public records under subsection one. [i.e. only birth records prior to Dec. 31, 1910 and marriage and death records prior to Dec. 31, 1950] CUSTODIANS [TOWN CLERKS] SHALL IMPLEMENT APPROPRIATE SECURITY MEASURES TO RESTRICT PUBLIC EXAMINATION OF VITAL RECORDS AND ISSUANCE OF CERTIFIED COPIES CONSISTENT WITH THIS SECTION 13, OTHER REQUIREMENTS OF CHAPTER 46, AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS OF GENERAL AND SPECIAL LAW to deter identity theft and to prevent fraudulent procurement and use of vital records and information. [good luck, Big "Brother" People, NOW is the time to be outraged and to DO SOMETHING about this Orwellian legislative shackle attempt. If you wish to keep your right to do genealogical research and local historical research, then please take the time to contact your representative. Let them know you oppose House Bill #5158 and any other attempts like it to restrict your right to access MA vital records. If our dear "representatives" succeed in passing this bill, we might as well hang up our genealogical hats and call it a day. We won't be able to conduct valuable research any longer at city / town hall. John C. Schumacher-Hardy So.

Hello Would someone know what district Lexington Street, Worcester, Ma. is in.......... Thank you........... Ann

Would some with access to the 1870 MA census (other than Ancestry.com) look up the following 2 families on printed page 419 in Worcester Co., Milford Town: Peter Hill 40 w/ wife Margaret and children: Mary, Annie, Catherine, William. Arthur Hill 40 w/ wife Margaret and children: Mary A, Elizabeth and William. Ancestry, for some reason, has only the first 35 pages of this town and the remaining 160+ pages are not on line. I would appreciate all the info recorded. Thank you. Nanci
