Searching for Waltham, MA Avery's
Hello all!My mother was an orphan.She was born in Waltham, MA in 1910.Her maiden name was Mary Avery.To try and make a long story short, we never knew anything about her family.In the mid 80's I was being interviewed for a job by a man with the last name of Avery.I told him my mother's story and he asked where she was born, I said Waltham and he said he was from Waltham too and that we must be related.I had just assumed that she was of English descent based on the surname of Avery and I asked him.He said, "yes, we are of English heritage with a little bit of Native American."This statement made my search for my heritage from my mother's side all the more interesting.If anyone can share anything about the Avery family of Waltham, MA I would be most grateful.
Thanks, Leo A. Eckenrode
