Ernie, Do you know if Dennis J Abbot III and his son Jim Abbott are related? I know the house I am living in now has been in their family since 1976 and they were living around Haverhill Mass at that time. His mothers name is Elizabeth A Curren Abbot and his dads name is Dennis J Abbot Jr. I found records of his dads death 6-18-1982 (born 8-4-1912) I traced his dad to Dennis Abbot Sr. and would guess from what I found from what I found on his draft card to be born in 1886. I am guessing the guy I am meeting tomorrow (Dennis Abbott III) to be about 78 years old and think he was born 1936-1944.... This is what I have found today. As you can see I love genealogy too....Must run in the family....lol. David Champy II Turbocam Automated Production Systems Senior Impeller Project Manager (603) 905-0282
