NEHGS Look up Favor

[cheryl]

With all the talk of the library, I made a quick trip down there this afternoon to look up some records for the Kerry List; but the library was closed.  Could some snowbound genealogist look these up for me?  Thanks, Cheryl

Merski,
Thanks for that look up.  I guess I got Ethel wrong, the one I wanted must be female Murray b. 1902.  Not a big deal, just looking for the usual gem, like a townland.  Interesting that Bridget listed mother as Bridget, other information indicates Johanna.  This is for a woman on the Kerry board, planning a trip to Ireland.  I sent her a list of places to check for family of DAY from DINGLE.  Thanks again for all the information.

I was wondering if some one with a subscription to newenglandancestors.org would mind doing a lookup for me. A death certificate for Thomas F. McGrath, died in Boston, 1896.

Thank you in advance, I feel as though I am always asking favors on this site, but everyone is just so helpful. It certainly doesnt go unappreciated.

Pat,
If you post a query on Rootsweb Mass Suffolk message board with the volume # and Page # and stating there is no image on NEHGS, there are people on the list with the capability of linking images.  If it is possible they will link the image for you.
