Hi all 

Not having a gripe, well ok I am...

Since having my DNA tested, at Xmas, at one of the major sites, it has renewed my interest in FH and my tree. Have been following just a paper trail, on and off since about 2003 since my Dad passed.

Well, I am amazed at the number of people who have payed to have DNA testing done but have no tree, to find a connection! 

Also those you message, have either not shown interest for months, years!! or do not reply at all!   

I cannot say I am disappointed, more disgruntled.

Have any others found this is the norm?

Ok, got it off my chest, gripe over..

Hello,

Mary Ellen Vahey b 7 Aug 1909 Cambridge, Massachusetts, died 13 Oct 2001, Melrose, Middlesex, Mass.

Have her in 1920 census with widowed father James Joseph Vahey, b 1875, Ireland, d 1935, Mass - Unable to locate 1910 census with mother Mary, née Bagot/Baggot born 1886 Ireland, died 10 Feb 1919 Massachusetts (my line)

By 1930 census she is still with father and 2nd wife, married with a son Lawrence J McCarthy, b 7 Sept 1928.  No father/husband listed on census. Lawrence died 2008. Possibly first husband is called Timothy, unable to locate marriage or death.

By 1940 census she is with 2nd husband Joseph Hovasse, b 1909, first son Lawrence McCarthy, age 11 and 3 further Hovasse children, firstborn a girl in c1934 then 3 sons. 2 prior to 1940 on census, the 4th son b ? after census taken.

Unsure If Hovasse children still living. So no names given.

If possible would like to find marriage details of husbands and births or bapts of all children & possible deaths/burials of her family.

Thanks if you can help, or point me in the direction of Massachusetts BMD after 1920/1930s. Any info appreciated.
