Subject: [GENMASSACHUSETTS] NEHGS MVR database: Harrington and Kellymarriages 1881-85
Date: Sat, 29 Nov 2008 19:46:14 -0800


Greetings Listers,
If you have been hunting for Harrington (Margaret to Peter) and Kelly
(Ann to Catie) marriages for the 1881-1885 time frame on
www.newenglandancestors.org , I've corrected the page numbers for the
Harringtons and added page numbers for the Kellys. As a Burke with
Kelly and Murphy lines also, I know it is hard enough tracking those
folks down without dealing with wrong and/or missing page numbers.

For the Bristol listers, I'm posting tips on using the NEHGS MVR
1841-1910 database on GenMassachusetts and MASUFFOLK lists. If you go
to the archives, you can just query my email or the subject line
containing "NEHGS MVR 1841-1910 Tip" on either list to see them.

Also, please note, a lot of 1910 death images were recently added.
Sam Sturgis, one of the NEHGS webmasters, is getting missing images
reports from the contractor and is starting to digitize the FHL
microfilm pages to add to the database. As I finish a volume, he is
also adding the missing images for that volume, so we will get as
complete an image collection as possible. Unfortunately, if the
images were in bad shape or missing when the FHL microfilmed them back
in the 70's, they will still be missing.

Finally, if you do spot the page number shown as "??" in your search,
please send me the information, so they can be corrected.

Best of luck in your search.
