Judith, Thanks for mentioning the availability of NEHGS at the library.{if they have subscribed}. Our library has one too so its great for folks who have to spread out the genealogy dollars. I love my personal membership because I get the publications for my home collection and get to research at any time of the day or night. You'd often find me sitting in an airport waiting for a flight researching on NEHGS! The Yankee in me loves wireless and using my time productively.

A better link that takes you directly to the 1930 census site is: <http://www.ancestry.com/rd/befree/affprodredirect.asp?key=Uhttp://census.ancestry.com/microsite/censuscomplete.aspx> heritagequestonline also has parts of the 1930 census on-line. Access to this site is avaiable to members of the NEHGS, and many libraries across the country, such as the Houston Public Library. The indexing on the two sites is different and each has their own advantages. I prefer the heritagequest census images to those on ancestry using macromedia flash. I like the fuzzy searches available through the ancestry index system. But it is more difficult to zero in on specific data that can be done on heritagequest. Ancestry will produce a list of up to 100 possible hits. Most will be far off the mark because of the fuzzy searching. heritagequest will show you all matching hits without the 100 limitation. But what you enter in your search request is what you get. If you ask for the name "Green," you get Green, not "Greene." Bill Wright

I love the NEHGS website. I use it a lot for FREE at the CT State Library. Recently, I had gone to RI Archives for some vitals. Later, I found that these RI vitals I'd gone to Providence to find were right there on NEHGS "New England Ancestors". I do find the site very useful- especially like to use it free of charge!! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Debbie Fields Murphy" <MSDFIELDS@earthlink.net> To: <RIGENWEB-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, June 26, 2006 4:08 AM Subject: Re: [RIGENWEB] NEGHS Research Value... > MSDFIELDS@earthlink.net > > Thanks Bonnie! > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Bonnie Weber" <bonnie.travel@sympatico.ca> > To: <RIGENWEB-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Sunday, June 25, 2006 4:27 PM > Subject: Re: [RIGENWEB] NEGHS Research Value... > > >> Hi Debbie >> I found some info that might help, but cannot attach to the list. >> Send me your address >> >> Bonnie >> bonnie.travel@sympatico.ca >> >> >> ==== RIGENWEB Mailing List ==== >> Providence County RIGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~riprovid/ >> Submit your Rhode Island Query at >> http://www.rootsweb.com/~rigenweb/queries.html >> >> > > > > ==== RIGENWEB Mailing List ==== > Visit RootsWeb Genealogical Data Cooperative: http://www.rootsweb.com/ > WorldConnect Project -- Connecting the World One GEDCOM at a Time > http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/ > >

Hawthorne's wife, daughter reburied By KEN MAGUIRE, Associated Press Writer Mon Jun 26, 4:31 PM ET CONCORD, Mass. - It was a Hawthorne family reunion, for the dead and the living. About 40 descendants of Nathaniel Hawthorne gathered in Concord on Monday to watch as the remains of his wife and daughter, buried for more than a century in England, were interred in the family plot at the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery alongside the author. "It's greatly significant to see the family reunited," said Alison Hawthorne Deming, 59, of Tucson, Ariz., Hawthorne's great-great-grandaughter. "It's also great to get together different parts of the heritage. It's a beautiful celebration for us," said Deming, a professor of creative writing at the University of Arizona. "It's not something we imagined happening. These people have never all been together." Hawthorne, author of "The Scarlet Letter" and "The House of the Seven Gables," died in New Hampshire in 1864. His wife, Sophia Peabody Hawthorne, moved to England with their three children and died there six years later. She and their daughter Una were buried at Kensal Green cemetery in London. Hawthorne's daughter, Rose, returned to the United States and started a Catholic order dedicated to caring for cancer patients. The Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne, based in Hawthorne, N.Y., had paid to maintain the Hawthorne graves in England. But when cemetery officials told the nuns that the grave site needed costly repairs, the order arranged to have remains reburied in Concord instead. On Monday, one modern casket containing the remains of mother and daughter was put on a horse-drawn 1860 wooden hearse and carried from a local funeral home through the town center to a church for the memorial service. About 40 family members and a group of nuns from the order followed the hearse in a procession. A minister offered a brief prayer and recounted the Hawthornes' time living at the Old Manse, located walking distance from the Old North Bridge, where the "shot heard 'round the world" was fired, sparking the American Revolution. The procession - which traced the path of Nathaniel Hawthorne's funeral procession - then moved back through town to the cemetery, about a quarter-mile away. The burial, which was private, took place in the section of the cemetery known as Author's Ridge, not far from where writers Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson are buried. Hawthorne historians say the author and his wife shared a passionate relationship. Many see Sophia's independence in Hawthorne's characters, including Hester Prynne, who is shunned by Puritanical villagers in "The Scarlet Letter" for having an affair and an illegitimate child. "It was a great love story. It was one of the premier marriages in American literature," said Philip McFarland, 76, who wrote a book called "Hawthorne in Concord" and watched the procession with his wife, Patricia, from the Concord common. McFarland said much of what is known of the Hawthornes' relationship comes from about 1,500 letters written by Sophia. "It's a misfortune that they were separated in death," he said. "It's very satisfying to anyone who knows the story of the Hawthorne marriage that they're being reunited for eternity."

Actually, Charles Fournier was born and raised in York County, Maine and was back there again within two years of marrying Ida in Woonsocket. I cannot imagine what prompted him to come to Rhode Island. Depending on which census you believe, Ida was born in Michigan, Connecticut or Maine and I have not been able to find her in her parents house in the census. I was hoping the marriage record might list her parents. Do you know if that information was on a 1907 marriage certificate?

Hi, Thanks for that info. That's the right family, but it just adds to my mystery. I have records from rhode Island showing a John Hayes, born Dodgeville, MA., son of John E. and Ellen Hayes, died April 1, 1872, in East Greenwich, RI. Age 2 years and one month. I have no record of Thomas Hayes death in that time period. I wonder if there is any record of Thomas Hayes death in the Massachusetts records? Anyway, thanks so much for your help.

Who were the Hicksites? The reason I'm asking is because my ancestors name was Hicks and they were Quakers.
