In my line I have a Preston S. Noel. His birth certificate states that he was born in Boston, MA on 20 Sep 1920. His parents are listed as Helen Nolan and Frank Noel. He was listed in the 1930 census as living with his grandmother, Mary Noel, in Brockton, MA. This Mary Noel is my ggggrandmother. The only children that Mary Noel had that I was aware of were my ggrandfather Edgar Noel, and his sister Maude Ellen Noel. I cannot find a Frank Noel anywhere in our family. However, I found a Helen Nolan listed in the same household as Mary Noel and Mary's mother Julia Rand. Julia was head of the household and Helen was listed as Julia's granddaughter. Preston Noel, Sr. is dead now, but his son Preston is still alive and has children. If anyone can help place these people into their rightful place in our family tree, it would be most appreciated. Please e-mail me at the above e-mail address. Thank you, Jolynn Noel Winland
