We will need to forget the cousin. That is family rumor but I believe it is true. However, I do not have the foggiest idea what her name was. I do believe now that Margaret's last name for Connell and she was born in Cork, Ireland. I have records that would have been from Margaret's input. I have posted the account of Margaret's death and you would find it in the RIGENWEB-L Archives Oct 2006 with a title of Natick Mill Village. Thanks so much for your interest and help.

Ah, what a shame about the cousin's missing name! Here is the link to the article you mentioned: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/RIGENWEB/2006-10/1160012143 Have you tried looking up newspaper obituaries for each of her children and her husband? They might include first cousins' names listed as sending flowers or acting as pallbarers. Also marriage stories in the newspapers might have similar info. Have you located the actual church records for the children of Mrs. Northrup? Baptisms and marriages? The Catholic Church records list godparents and witnesses, and these can provide wonderful clues, too, to possible family members. Some churches still hold the records. In eastern Massachusetts, some are held by the Archdiocese of Boston Archives. Regards, Susan Daily On 4/25/07, Arlene Haddock <mahaddock@yahoo.com> wrote: > We will need to forget the cousin.
