In batch [M315-YV2] of the Boston Tax Records, the next to the last surname

is listed as Scalley. In the second entry under that surname, it says, "see Scully". Are we supposed to list "Scalley or Scully" for John's entry, or for every entry under Scalley, or not at all?

Thank you in advance for any assistance. I was not able to find an answer if this question has been asked before.

    Sure hope someone answers this. I see Cathleen asked the question and answered it - no answer that I can see.

    I'm leaning towards using "Scalley Or Scully" under each entry starting with Bernard J.

    My guess: the 'see Scully' only applies to John P and the blank entries under him. The Scalley goes with the Bernard J entry - I believe.

    I accidentally made the blank response entry because I wasn't sure the original question was posted. My mistake.

    Thank you, everyone!
