Good morning, Deb. I think you'll enjoy researching your Massachusetts ancestry. MA is probably the most genealogically friendly state. There is a wealth of records available. All town clerks have been required since earliest times to keep records of all births, marriages and deaths in their towns. For the most part this was done quite thoroughly. Beginning around 1841 all clerks were required to make copies of their records and send them to the state archives. If you find that you have extensive roots in MA or the New England states, you may want to get a membership in NEHGS (New England Historic Genealogical Society.) On of their best databases is the 1841-1915 vital records of MA. This database is an index of the records in the MA Archives. The majority have images of the records. This is the database that I searched to find information on your Pike family. In addition, a great many towns had their vital records published. This was done from the late 1800's to about 1935. There are several places online where you can access these records. Just one of those sites is the one that I oversee. See below. There are some other towns that have been done more recently and are under copyright. This simply means that the books can't be scanned and images made publicly available. The records themselves are public and can be put online. Don't rush into joining NEHGS. You may not have extensive enough roots to justify the expense. You can always ask for help on the various lists. There are many people, like myself, who have memberships and will do lookups. Introductions done. Here is what I found: Albert W. Pike, b. Aug. 8, 1881 in Charlton to Frank L. and Fidelia P. (NMN) Pike. Frank was a mechanic and born in Thompson, CT. Fidelia was born in Charlton. Edith M. Studley, b. Jan. 4, 1883 in Falmouth to George A. and Mary R. (NMN) Studley. George was a mariner and born in Falmouth. Mary was born in Boston. In Charlton on Oct. 9, 1901, Albert Wilson Pike, a. 21, of Charlton, a barber, and Edith M. Studley, a. 18, of Falmouth. First marriage for both. Marriage was officiated by William H. Adams, Pastor M.E. Church. Albert's parents were Frank L. Pike and Fidelia R. Morey. Edith's parents were George A. Studley and Mary J. McLaughlin. George Wilson Pike, b. May 9, 1902 in Charlton to Albert W. and Edith M. (Studley) Pike. Albert was a barber and born in Charlton. Edith was born in Falmouth. Clifton H. Pike, b. Dec. 3, 1906 in Worcester, to Albert W. and Edith M. (Studley) Pike. Albert was a barber and born in Charlton. Edith was born in Falmouth. Edith Studley born 1884 to William H. and Mary Studley in Falmouth. His parents were Elisha F. & Augusta Studly. Can't find a birth record for Albert to determine if he and William were brothers. Falmouth is in Barnstable County. Falmouth was founded in 1694. It had no parent town. The printed volume for Falmouth was published in 1976 by the Rhode Island Society of Mayflower Descendants and is under copyright. You can check your library for this. It is available at my library, but I just don't have the time, right now, to get the book to begin transcribing it. Good luck. :-) John & Jodi Massachusetts Vital Records Administrators - http://MA-VitalRecords.org If you find this site of value - http://MA-VitalRecords.org/Donate.html Quoting DEBEB@aol.com: [Hide Quoted Text] I am new to list and also new to research in this state.
