Boston Mass Orphanage, Pauline Connolly

Pauline Louise Connolly, born 5/19/1937 in Boston?, Massachussetts, died 4/25/2004 in California . I have no information or names for any siblings or parents. What I have been told is that when she was a small girl, there was a house fire which killed several members of the family. Supposedly, her parents were not home at the time of the fire, and the surviving children were taken, separated, and Pauline was placed in an orphanage in Boston. There may have been as many as 6 or 7 children. I think this happened when she was quite young- so late 1930s-early 1940s.

So how do I go about finding out what orphanage she was placed in?
