There are many. A real good bet though is the Peabody in Salem. You could also look up Richard Trask the archivist at the one in Danvers. Abby I’m Puritan to the bone, down to the marrow and then some: if I’m not sorry I worry, if I can’t worry I count.

I have to second Richard Trask, especially if you are interested in the Salem Witchscare and colonial times. Richard is an expert on the trials and one of the founders of the Danvers (Ma) alarm list (revolutionary fighting unit). It really depends on what you seek... what towns from which your ancestors might have come. If you are interested in Beverly, one of the first towns to break away from Salem, theres a lot of information, and an awesome volunteer named Dan Driscoll, at the city clerk's office. If you do have specific towns in mind you might want to write to the reference librarian in advance. Faye ---- Abigail Lumsden <alumsden1@maine.rr.com> wrote: > There are many.
