Thank you for the information. I searched on Ancestry and found nothing on this family. I think I am going to drop my membership.

Frank: The info came from Ancestry. It is all in the search technigue. Under search enter the name Briggs only and the state of RI. Up will come all Briggs' in RI, A list ing of Births, Deaths, Marriages etc. will include all Briggs' found. Then scroll through the listings one by one looking for your names. I haven't checked the census which could be used to confirm the names of the family memebers after 1950. You need to be patient and realize spelling may be off. The cemetrey records are found in the NEHGS website database. There are also RI Cem. records collections out there. All give clues to locations of the family. In later years the Directories of RI may find where they lived. Steve
