Good luck. > Judi > > ------------------------------ > > Hi Judi, Thanks for the great information. I have a marriage record from my great grandfather, Edward. It says his residence at the time of marriage is in Cambridge at Alberta Terrace. I will have to research to see if that was on Massachusetts Ave or if it is a street address in itself. I don't know that my great grandfather still lived with his parents but I am sure there is a good chance. The marriage was in 1915. I will have to try and see if my family knew of a brother Ventura. Thanks again, I really appreciate your help. I have only been in the group a few days and the members have been really incredible.
