Has anyone ever done family history research in Boston? I have a tiny bit of info about my great-great-granduncle, James Higgins. My grandfather's notes say he came to the US in 1850 and settled in Boston. That's all I have!!! I will try the Boston Public Library but can anyone suggest other places? Thanks. Clare Higgins

Hi, Clare, There is a record of a James Higgins arriving in Boston in July of 1847 from Ireland, age 30. Have you checked census reports? Ann
