Any help is appreciated.

Hi!
Does anyone know which county North Adams, MA is located in? I
just received documentation that some of my ancestors were born
there. That would explain why I haven't been able to find them in
Hampshire County where they were supposed to have been born! :)
Thanks for your help!

I recently purchased some old postcards, some of which would be of more
interest to others than myself.
One is a unused postcard of "Hotel Northampton and Wiggins Old Tavern at
Northampton, Massachusetts."
It's an etching type image, printed in a brown ink. On the back it adds,
"Lewis N. Wiggins, Landlord"
A scan can be viewed at http://home.flash.net/~birchwd/PCs/index.html.
First offer of $10 will be accepted. I'll pay shipping.

Hi,
I would like to correspond with someone who has researched ancestors who
lived in Ware, Massachusetts in the late 1700's and early 1800's. I
have been having a difficult time finding vital records for marriages
and death's in the town and have a few questions.
1. Are marriage and death Vital Records of Ware from abt. 1770 to 1840
available?
2. I have checked out The Ware Vital Records kept by the town clerk.
These records are on microfilm through Family History Centers. It is a
very hard film
Marla:
I was at Ware's town hall about 8-10 years ago, looking for records dating
back to the 1860s. The clerks let me look through the birth, death and
marriage indexes, and when I found a possible relation they would bring me
the appropriate register to look through. It was a little time-consuming
because I could get only one register at a time. The clerks seemed interested
in helping me, even though they had other things to do. Some of the writing
was faded or not very well-written, but better than
North Adams is in Berkshire County...........
You will need to be familiar with the changes in the counties and their
bounderies changes
if you do research in New England.
For western Massachusetts.......
1.all of western Mass. was part of Middlesex County until 1662
2.all of western Mass. area was changed to Hampshire County in July 1662
3.Franklin County established from Hampshire County in June 1811
