This is what I know for sure. My mother Phyllis Evelyn Currant(Bursiel)was born in Saugus, Mass 1919 d. Jan 28, 2000. Her mother and father Charles Ernest Bursiel b. 1882 d. 1942 was married to Ella L.(Dibbern) b. 1882 d. 1965 are both buried in the Saugus, Mass Cemetary, 164 Winter St. Saugus, Mass. I have Photos of there graves. Ella's parents the Dibberns' are supposed to be buried in the same cemetary. I am going back to Mass in May 2003 to research this. My mother Phyllis E. had 4 brothers and 2 sisters: Charles E. Jr married to Margaret had one daughter who died at the age of 30 from Cystic Fibrosis. Charles and Margaret are still living in Sun City, AZ. Francis H. b. 1920 d. 1944. Frederick Willis, b. 1916 d. 2001; He lived in Las Vegas, NV. Walter E. birth unknown. I last saw him in Sept,1994 but he died in 95 or 96 at the VA hospital in New Hampshire, the state in which he lived. Dorothy M.(Bursiel) b. 1911 d. 2001 was married to Earl Long, had 2 children; Arlene and Richard. Arlene is married to Gene Decareau and still living in Saugus, Mass. They have 3 sons; James (Jim), John and Steven (Steve). Steven is married to Susan and live in Missouri. and last but not least; Gertrude married to Morrin Hazel b. 1912 d. 1960, She then married a man named Howard Arnold. She is still living in Hollywood, Fl. Gertrude and Morrin had 2 sons: Morrin and Brian Hazel. Brian is still living Ashland, MA. Morrin Died from brain cancer but I don't remember the year he died. I believe it was in the 1980's. I am trying to find the Dibbern side of my mother's family. My mothers grandfather was named Willis H. Bursiel b. 1880 was married to Mary Robinson. Willis H. Bursiel's father was James b.1822 d.1879. He was one of 10 children: Abby C. b. 1828 d. ?, Dolly French Bursiel b.1812 d. ?, Eliphalet b.1820 d.1900 Spouse Mehitable Merrill, Eliza J. Bursiel b. 1824 d. ?, James Bursiel b.1822 d. ?, Leonard Bursiel b.1818 d. ?, Mary Nichols Bursiel b.1808 d. ?, Nancy Bursiel b.1814 d. ? and Thomas Bursiel b.1809 d.1875 spouse Olive Atwood. Thomas and Olive had a son; Charles Edward Bursiel b. 1843 d. ?. The 10 children's father and mother were William Bursiel b.1780 d.1857 and Betsy French b.1789 d.1877. They were married Feb 12, 1807 Bedford, NH. William Bursiel was the son of Abel Bursiel b.1756 and was married to Mary Nichols. This is as far as I have gotten. As I said I am trying to research my mother's mother side of the family, the Dibberns'. If you have any information on them it would be great.
Thanks,
