At a Wedding, there are often friends as well as relatives. But at the very least the Ushers, Best Man, etc. and others just attending are at least usually people the bride and/or groom knew. And many are often relatives

The following are Wedding Descriptions for some of Moshe Joseph FinnPazernov's descendants, each with a somewhat large list of participants, and/or a large list of those simply attending. Would like to try to identify everyone mentioned.

From 1901, the same Wedding in the Boston Globe and the Boston Post
https://www.newspapers.com/clip/107650600/wedding-finn-berman-1901/
https://www.newspapers.com/clip/14044772/boston-post/

From 1903 in the Boston Globe
https://www.newspapers.com/clip/106589902/wedding-finn-gale-1903/

The 1901 Wedding is for the Marriage of Moshe Joseph FinnPazernov's 3rd great grandchild Katy [Pazernov] Berman (dau of Simon Aaron son of Lieber son of Moshe Yosef son of Shlomo) and Samuel Berman.

The 1903 Wedding is for the Marriage of his 2nd great grandchild Samuel J. (Pazernov) Finn
(Son of Lieber son of Moshe Yosef son of Shlomo) and his 3rd great grandchild Molly {Gertrude} Finn (dau of Ida dau of Lieber)

In the 1901 article in the Globe, Katy is "Miss Katie Finn"
In the article in the Post she is "Miss Katherine Finn"
In the Globe, she is the "daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Finn of 14 Parmenter st"
in the Post, she is "the daughter of Simon Finn of 14 Parmenter street, a prominent businessman of the North End"

The article in the Post was written before the Wedding, in the Globe, after it.
The Post has: "The ushers are to be Morris E. Finn, M. Youngerman, Mr. Abrams, Mr. Baer, H. Cohen, Morris Finn, Morris Gale, Morris Barron, H. Finn, S. Finn, Jr., and Adolph Kupferman."
--
The Globe has "The ushers were Morris E. Finn, Moses Ungerman, Morris Gale, Samuel Cohen, Adolph Kupferman, Samuel Finn, Hyman Finn, Morris Finn, Morris Barron, and Abraham Baier."

Molly Gale and Katy Finn, as they were before their marriages, were first cousins, so it would not be surprising if there is a major overlap in those serving as ushers.

For the 1903 Wedding, the article in the Globe has
"The ushers comprised Messrs Maurice E. Finn of this city, Maurice Finn of Everett, Morris Barron, Morris Gale, Harry Dubinsky, Abraham Barron, Arthur Barron, Nathan Finn and George Finn."

I believe Morris Gale = Morris J Gale - born 1880, brother of Molly, 1st cousin of Katy
Morris Barron = Private - born 1880, 1st cousin once removed to both Molly and Katy
Those were ushers at both the weddings.

At just Katy's,
M.. Youngerman in the Post = Moses Ungerman in the Gobe - but who is he?
Mr. Baer in the Post = Abraham Baier in the Globe - but who is he?
Does H. Cohen in the Post = Samuel Cohen in the Globe? And who is he, or they?
And who is Adolph Kupferman who appears in both articles, and "Mr. Abrams" who just appears in the Post?

At just Molly's -
Would Abraham Barron be Maurice Barron's father, Abraham Hyman Barron - born abt 1841 - or is that too old to be an Usher at a Wedding?
--
Who is Arthur Barron? Is he the Arthur Barron = Arthur / Osher / Isha Barron - born about 1868 - that Nelle (Barron) Slafsky (sister of Maurice Barron) later married after her first husband died?
--
Who is Harry Dubinsky? A son or relative of Louis Dubin Or??

All the rest of the ushers are Finns - 4 in each of the articles, tho I do not think all the 4 at Molly's wedding are the same 4 as at Katy's

In 1901, the Post had Morris E. Finn, Morris Finn, H. Finn, S. Finn, Jr.
and the Globe had them as Morris E. Finn, Samuel Finn, Hyman Finn, Morris Finn
I assume the Morris E. Finns are the same and the Morris Finns are the same
I assume H. Finn in the Post = Hyman Finn in the Globe
and S. Finn, Jr. in the Post = Samuel Finn in the Globe

I am thinking probably Maurice E. Finn of this city at the1903 Wedding is the same as Morris E. Finn at the 1901 Wedding and Maurice Finn of Everett at the 1903 Wedding is the same as the Morris Finn listed for the 1901 Wedding. But am not sure.
I do not think Nathan Finn or George Finn at the 1903 Wedding match any of the Ushers at the 1901 Wedding.

The Descendants on Geni of Moshe Joseph FinnPazernov thru his son Shlomo who were Morris or Maurice, last name Finn, and were old enough to be an usher in 1901 (and were still alive) were just
Morris Elia [Pazernov] Finn = Morris Elia [Pazernov] Finn - born 1874, brother of Katy - seems living in Boston then
and
Morris (Maurice) Finn = Morris (Maurice) Finn - born 1869, son of Isaac (son of Moshe Yosef son of Shlomo) - seems living in Boston then

Who is Maurice Finn of Everett ? might the second one of the above been living there in 1903?
Or??

Adolph Kupferman appears in list of Ushers, list of those present includes Mr. Benj Kupferman. (left, 14th down).
Are these naybe
Adolph Kupferman and his brother Benjamin?
