Hi again, I wanted to mention a few miscellaneous things. It was mentioned on the MA/US List at www.rootsweb.com this week that the "Family & Probate Records" for the Courts in MA are now on-line. For my own family-tree, I went to the site and tried the HUTCHINSON name, but I soon found out, if I'm understanding correctly, that you need to have an "exact date" for the Probate record you are looking for. So, when I tried to find the .will. for Mary HUTCHINSON dying in 1936, I got an error message.
The records for the Registry of Deeds has already been on-line for a while, and I don't remember that that is quite so difficult. I can provide URL's later, but you can find a lot of information by just going to www.mass.gov And, I wanted to remind researchers of my husband's ancestors. His grandparents, Antonio PACHECO and Elzira "Elsie" MOURA married in Cambridge, MA/US in 1912. And, I've mentioned Elsie's parents recently, Francisco MOURA from Ponta Delgada and Filomena Augusta da ROSA - just finding out from Faial and Pico. And, then "Tony" seems to have been born in Sao Roque, Sao Miguel, ~1885, as that is where his parents lived. They were Joao PACHECO and Jacintha COSTA. I don't know anything else about them, so I don't know about their parents, or their other children. FYI: When "Elsie" was widowed in 1928 when "Tony" was killed in a car accident (with 3 other men from Cambridge), she was pregnant with twins and delivered a month later. Both died before they were 2. She was left with 5 young children. It is my opinion that she became very angry that her husband had died - tragically, and that anger stayed with her the rest of her life. She never mentioned her late husband to her grandchildren, etc. (d1980). And, she told them that they had no PACHECO relatives in New England. A few yrs. ago a researcher told me that another PACHECO family in Cambridge .was. related to them.
