Answer 1

Dear Melissa,

    Here is a Henry Freiburger with a wife Dorothy Leahy.  Does your mother-in-law have a brother named Joseph Francis Freiburger who married a Geer?  

"New Hampshire Marriage Certificates, 1948-1959", database with images, FamilySearch(https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QKJ7-RQXP : accessed 2 May 2016), Henry Frieburger in entry for Joseph Francis Frieburger and Eileen Frances Geer, 1958.

If this is the correct family, you can work back in time from here. Hope this helps! -NGP

 

Answer 2

My father, John H. Leahy, Jr. has/had a sister named Dorothy Leahy/Shanahan/Frieburger. Dorothy lived from 1912 (born in Boston) to 1984. She was the daughter of John H. and Margaret (Kilroy) Leahy. I'd be happy to provide additional information if you'd like. My dad's parents resided in Boston. There is no connection to the Lahey Clinic.
