LAFORTUNE
I am looking for descendants of Robert LaFortune (1914-1982) who died in Hamilton,MA. We believe Robert might be the son of Louis Albert LaFortune and Kathryn G. (Palmer) LaFortune who lived in Cincinnati, OH [at least until 1937, as that was the last letter we have from Louis to my Grandmother, Laura (LaFortune) LaValley].
I have inherited a large number of old photos that we found in my Grandmother's attic with very few of them identifie4d, we are trying to locate LaFortune family members who might be able to assist with the identification of these photos and hopefully share them with their descendants.
We have 2 photos taken at Young & Carl Studio in Cincinnati, Ohio that we believe are Louis Albert with his sons, Louis H. and Robert.
Any help would be appreciated.

Boynton
My great-grandmother was Gertrude West Boynton, born in Rockport in 1875. I'm looking for her parents, we have contradictory info so far: her 1893 Boston marriage record lists her parents as George H. and Margaret Boynton (no locations given), but her 1917 Somerville death record lists her parents as Louis Boynton, born in Georgetown MA, and Louise Ward, born in Nova Scotia. I assume they were born circa 1850. Can anyone provide data on George / Margaret and Louis / Louise?
Sincerely

Maricle / Mericle Boynton
I am trying to find when David Maricle / Mericle died. He was living in Lynn,MA and is listed in the directory in 1890 for Lynn. His family was buried in Townsend, MA but he is not there.
David was born in Schoharie or Tioga Co, NY abt 1837. His wife was Louisa Morton.
Also trying to find where Samuel F. Boynton is buried. He died July 16, 1883 in Lynn,MA. He was born abt 1837-1840 in Maine. His father is listed also as Samuel F. Boynton.
His wife was Mary H Dougherty from New Brunswick, Canada.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Kindly, Nancy PerryJuly 22, 2004
