If your ancestor was a police officer, teacher, lamplighter, firefighter, teacher, or street sweeper, public records were created around that job. From biographical information and salary to tales of heroism and scandal, these records offer details on your ancestor’s life, family, and times. And don’t forget the pension.


Margaret R. Sullivan is Records Manager & Archivist to the Boston Police Department. After hours, she has documented long forgotten line of duty, African American, Jewish, and early women officers. She collaborated with the UMass Boston Archives and a host of volunteers to document the 1100-plus men who participated in the 1919 Boston Police Strike. A Fellow at the Massachusetts Historical Society and former Vice-President of TIARA, Margaret has been researching her own ancestors for 25 years.
