A few thoughts from Dawn

A few thoughts from Ray

Greetings!  Welcome to the Berkshire County Gen Web site.  I am Dawn Newton.  I took the website over from Ray Brown in October 2003.  We will never forget his contribution to making this a great website.  Many thanks go to Ray Brown, Laurel O'Donnell, Vicki Gray, Claire Smith, and all the volunteers who have worked to make this a great website.  I look forward to continuing to help this website grow.  

Please check back soon for site updates and information.  If you are interested in contributing to the website, please e-mail me.  I will post anything related to Berkshire County.  If you have a will of an ancestor, transcribe it.  I am also looking for biographies of your favorite ancestors.  They can be from old genealogical books that have expired copyrights or ones that you have written.  You must cite all your sources!!!  Other people's GEDCOM's are not reliable sources and you should not write histories based on them.  Click here to see how to cite sources based on the Turabian standard.

Thanks for visiting the site!  Come back soon.

Note: Some buttons or links may be down while the site is being updated.  Thanks for your patience.  Many thanks to Patricia McMackin for providing me with the graphics for the buttons, and for providing and maintaining the surname registry.
