Hoping to find some one that knows a little history for Lanesville and Rockport, Ma. for the time of 1900-1905 as my great-grandparents imigrated to there. Elias Maki married Ida Murtomaa in Lanesville and they had one child Ida before moving to Mn. I have been told that Elias was either hurt in the rock quarries and had to move for his health, but have recently learned he may have been hit with a block and tackle on a ship instead. Also looking for info on the merchant marines possibly from this area. Where can I possibly get records for this area or is there a book about this time span that would give information? Mona
