Hi Everyone, I'm Jacqui. I live in Ohio, but my father and grandfather were born in Boston, Massachusetts. My grandparents and one set of my great-grandparents are also buried in the area, as are some extended family members. Good luck to everyone in their research! :)

Hi everyone,
I have been researching my family here in Massachusetts and in Ireland for 8 years. I am also part of www.raogk.org (Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness). Check it our, its volunteers all over the country organized by state. People do different things, for example I take photos in several cemeteries for people.

Lisa,
That was fun. I went through most if the memorial hall site and even sent an e-post card to a friend who was with me when I visited the Connecticut River Valley and Ancient Deerfield.

Hi Wendy
What type of Info are you looking for? I had good results starting with census records and old city directories. I live in Brockton now, so I may be helpful in answering some questions for you. Let me know. Chrystine

Thanks Wendy
