Hi Dave, I couldn't remember where Kensington was, so I search for a site mentioning it. For the benefit of others, here is the town's web site: http://www.town.kensington.nh.us/index.shtml Under "Town Committees" you can find a page on the Historical Society which mentions the book. I wonder if the book was reprinted by any of the genealogical publishing companies ! I also wonder whether the next town, Hampton, NH, has any information on the CONNER's in their records !

Thanks very much to Cheryl, Walter & Maryellen for all your help. Carl Australia.

Greetings, I wonder if anyone has any insights into the apparent mystery of Joseph Adams Janvrin Sr, born about 1786 in (likely) Rockingham County. The going theory about Joseph Adams Janvrin's parentage is that he was the son of John Janvrin (b Jan 9 1754 to John Janvrin and Elizabeth Stickney in Newington, NH) and Elizabeth Gilman Adams (b in Newington, NH to Dr. Joseph Adams and Joanna Gilman and baptized there September 6, 1761). John Janvrin and Elizabeth Gilman Adams married January 25, 1784 at Portsmouth NH. To be sure, there is only one known Janvrin family in the area (and possibly the entire country) at the time. They were the descendants of Jean Janvrin (b abt 1671 in St Hellier, Isle or Jersey to Jacques Janvrin and Marie Le Couteur), who immigrated to Rockingham County New Hampshire and married Elizabeth Knight (d/o Captain John Knight and Bridget Sloper). Jean Janvrin was a mariner, merchant, and possibly smuggler who died in Lisbon, Portugal in 1717. Only one of his children, John Janvrin (b 8 July 1707 in Portsmouth, NH) who married Elizabeth Stickney (b 12 Jan 1721/22 in Newbury, MA) on 9 Oct 1751 in Hampton Falls, NH, produced any heirs. (Jean Janvrin's widow Elizabeth Knight remarried Rev Joseph Adams of Newington, NH, who is theorized to be the great-grandmother of our Joseph Adams Janvrin.) John Janvrin and Elizabeth Stickney lived in Newington NH for many years and had four sons - William, James, George, and John. The marriages and offspring of three of them are well-documented, and as such they can be ruled out as fathers of Joseph Adams Janvrin. One of the other four sons (besides John) did marry an Adams, and did actually have a son named Joseph Adams Janvrin, but William Janvrin married Abigail Adams (daughter of Dr. Joseph Adams and Joanna Gilman, and sister of Elizabeth Gilman Adams) in 1796 (about ten years after the birth of our Joseph Adams Janvrin), and their Joseph Adams Janvrin married Lydia Ann Colcord at Exeter, NH November 24, 1822. As I said, our Joseph Adams Janvrin was apparently born about 1786, possibly in Portsmouth (where John Janvrin and Elizabeth Gilman Adams were married in 1784), possibly in Seabrook (where a John Janvrin household is listed in the 1790 census for Seabrook), or possibly elsewhere in Rockingham. I haven't confirmed it, but Elizabeth Gilman Adams appears to have died sometime in the 1790s, and John Janvrin apparently remarried a Swett. Our Joseph Adams Janvrin married Joanna Thurlow January 8, 1809 at Newbury Mass, and appears to have resided in Newbury for the rest of his life. Thank you for any help you might be able to provide. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Hi Phil, Do you know about the "Orphan Trains?" Most people know about it as a "scheme" started in New York City for their thousands of abandoned children. But, I found a book which says that the scheme actually started in Boston. And, it worked so well that NYC decided to try it ! The difference was that Boston "sent out" their children to other parts of New England but NYC "sent out" their children ... to many states -- across the country ! I learned this from a book I found in my local Library, called "Boston's Wayward Children: Social Services for Homeless Children, 1830-1930," by Peter C. Holloran in 1989. It is an excellent book on the subject. The book starts out: "The unclassified poorhouse was no longer considered suitable for homeless children by 1800, but the traditional alternatives -- apprenticeship, domestic service, and binding out orphans and wayward children to farmers or other respectable householders -- were not always convenient or possible in growing urban centers -- like Boston, New York, and Philadelphia. ...."

Around 1900 both my grandmother (Mass) and her sister (Maine) adopted children from Catholic Charities. I do not think they were formal adoptions. The church would send children to churches in the area. At mass the children would be lined up in front of the church and the Priest would say that he had some children that needed a good home. If you wanted a child you took him or her home and that was it. Times have certainly changed.

I went through the process about 4 years ago for my grandmother. And, I had to provide good, solid evidence that I was related to the woman I wanted the Adoption Record for ! This included her Death Certificate, my mother's Birth Certificate, and mine, etc. And, from my research, I typed up a 3-page document describing my grandmother's Adoptive family. This was from an 1892 Adoption. She was reportedly a "foundling" in Boston in 1889. But, 3 generations of people have tried to find a Birth Certificate for her, and one just doesn't exist. (And, this includes a Certificate which "should have" been filled out at her Adoption.)

I think that their married daughter in CT had an "unwanted pregnancy" in the "summer of 1888." (She had a 7-year-old son.)
