Before you Email the County Coordinator! Chances are I am not going to be able to personally do your research.  However, if you are looking for someone to do research for you, please visit the Berkshire Family History Association.  They are great folks and the membership fee is $12/year.  They will give you two free hours of research at the Berkshire Athenaeum.  They contribute a lot of resources to the Berkshire Athenaeum, and have authored and indexed many useful books.  If you do not find it on the website, try e-mailing the Berkshire County Mailing List provided by www.rootsweb.com  If there is someone who knows your answer on this wonderful list they will help.  Finally, if you can afford it, I highly recommend a subscription to www.ancestry.com.  I have been able to do a lot of my own research in my p.j.'s.  They are also adding the Berkshire Eagle newspapers with a fully searchable index.  This is an invaluable resource to Berkshire researchers.  If there are special circumstances or you really do not know where to go, I will try to help you.  I wouldn't be where I am in my research if people hadn't helped me out. If you would like to contribute information to this website, please do so.  In the subject line please write Berkshire County: followed by town: followed by what type of record: followed by the name of person, year, etc.  Example: Berkshire County: Lanesboro: Will: Stephen Newton: 1873.  Or Berkshire County: Adams: Birth Records: 1865.  I am involved in several volunteer groups and websites.  This will help me catch your e-mail and realize you are not sending me a virus as an attachment.  I delete anything that does not have text in the body of the e-mail.  You will receive credit for what you have sent in.  Volunteers who consistently send information into the website get recognized on the volunteer page. Thank you!  Dawn Quinn
