Susan >> Susan, I have an aunt that lives about 10 minutes away from me and trying to get information from her is like pulling eye teeth. When I first asked her for her grandparents names she gave me the wrong name for my great grandmother. I found out the right name by writing to the Archdiocese of Boston for my grandfather's baptismal record. My aunt's cousin gave me an entirely different name for the same great grandmother. As I put in my last message, my great grandmother was Ellen Gill and my aunt had given me the name of Elizabeth Sullivan. Talk about confused? My biggest problem at this point is that I can't get passed my great grandfather's name. I don't know where he was born, who his parent's were, when he was born or even when he died. Some day the brick walls will come down. I know not to rely on the assistance of my family. Beth
