• Notes

  She was born at 476 Shawmut Ave, Boston, MA, as were dozens of other children whose father's weren't known (or given). Could this have been some kind of hospital or midwifery for pregnant girls? The record of her birth lists many other children whose fathers are not listed but mother's names are. Though there is no title to the record, it surely must be a list of unwed mothers in Boston?
