My father was born in Quincy Ma Feb 17, 1908. His parents were Alfred Nelson and Sylvia M Piispanen who had both been born in Finland, but lived in Quincy Ma. Dad had gone to Northeastern Univ in Boston Ma. I tried to find his social security information, and learned his card had been issed in New York. That is a real mystery to me and my family since he never left Ma, that I knew of. He was in the co-op program at Northeastern, was a civil engineer. I am wondering if anyone can help me untangle this mystery. Soc Sec cards didn't exist until around 1936(I think)so he had to be somewhere in NY then. Maybe someone can help
He married my mother Margaret Bradley in Salem Ma on April 23, 1939, and never left Ma again except for a 6-8 month period when we all lived in VA.
I am sorry if this is confusing, but its a confusing situation for us to(my sister and I)
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Mom never mentioned his being in NY. He died in Stoneham Ma on Nov 23, 1952. and mom is also deceased now.
