These folks have a great society with a lot of information on a Web page, a Facebook presence and a Twitter following.
I took this photo of the Dea. Edmund Rice memorial gravestone and they loved it so much, the put it on the Wikipedia page.
They feature a bus tour of the various sites (including the North Cemetery) in nearby Wayland, Sudbury and Framingham plus a dinner on Friday night. On Saturday, they host a reunion in a hotel (no bugs or porta-pottie, thank you!) with a great lunch and a series of interesting talks.
They have posted much information about their research. It is well documented with evidence and mentions of the lack of evidence where it is appropriate.
I even found a connection from people in my family in North Stonington to a minister who was a Rice descendant. It's a small world!

Wonderful photo, Midge! My ex-husband's mother was a Rice, going back to Thomas RICE, 3rd son of Deacon Edmund RICE. Unfortunately, while he likes that I found all this info (for our kids!), he's not too interested, so none of us will likely be at their reunion. Too bad - it sounds like it would be very enjoyable! Thanks for posting.
