Chris& All, I have access to "The Boston Transcripts" at The Godfrey Library in Middletown, CT. If I remember, it is a collection of genealogical gleanings from New England in the Victorian Era that were published on a regular bases. I'll get a more accurate description on my next visit.

Boston Transcripts were genealogy columns of queries and answers from about 1896 to I believe 1941 in the Boston Transcript paper, I have 2 rolls of microfilm with these columns. Most of the information I have looked at is not referenced so ...

Louella, After I sent the "Boston Transcript" note, I checked some copies I had made of an Ancestry Database. When I looked at the films that were indexed, I saw, as you stated, that they were not referenced, at least not in any professional way. Some did refer to specific documents, but nothing you would cite. From what I have, they are queries and information sent to the newspaper column from 1906-1941 on a voluntary basis. It has some use as an avenue to explore.
