Close To The Beginning

Not too long from now, our journey through my paternal line's ancestry will begin. I just noticed today that the state of Massachusetts will be in the next group of states released in the indexed 1940 U.S. Census. Once I have reviewed it, I hope to get more answers about where my grandfather stayed after his parents died. When I connect all the dots, we can finally get started!

A side note: I found my Grandma Rose Coburn (Lashua) in the census, living in New Hampshire with her parents and brother. She was 17 at the time. I think they may have written down the wrong middle name for her. I would have to see her birth or death certificate to be certain if it was Marie or Amy. I want to research her side of the family as well, but it will take more time. Her parents have a background of French Canadian which eventually winds up in France. Since I know nothing about that language, it will take patience and lesson in French before that branch of the family tree is filled!
