LOOKING FOR MY GRANDFATHER : PART3

Here's what I already knew about the family from Federal Census Records
in reverse chronological order.

I've since discovered Pauline's parents were Charles Offlincher and
Johanna Luick. I had some probable information that Edward J White's
parents were Patrick J White and Mary(last name unknown). Now, thanks
to Heather Wilkinson Rojo searching the Boston Vital Records  on the
NEHGS site, I can go another generation back on the White side:



Boston Births, 1873, Volume 252, page 155
May 15, Edward White, male, 5 Oxford Place,
parents Patrick J. and Mary, residents of Boston, gilder. born Ireland,
mother born Halifax, N.S.

Boston VRs Marriages
Volume 228, page 148, line 50
20 Sept. 1870, Patrick White, age 22, gilder, born Boston, parents Edward and Ellen,
married Mary Powers, age 22, born Ireland, parents Thomas and Catherine,
first marriage for both, by Rev. J. P. Ryan, Boston.

So, the next step is to come up with a plan: who to talk to, where to go, what to look
for in my search.
