Anyone out there researching the Veazie family of North Adams, Ma? I have a lot of information and will be more than happy to share. I am looking for a link between the Veazie's of NA and the Veazie's of Veazie, Maine. Mara Veazie Bass

I am trying to locate information on the BRIZZEE/BRESEE/BURZEE name, in particular for any Henry. The first Bresees went to the Egremont/West Stockbridge area as a result of the rent wars with Livingston Manor. Gideon Bostwick's records have a number of them up to 1795. I am trying to fill in the gaps especially for a Henry born about 1799. My other problem is that for Bostwick's death notice of 1785 for a Hendricus Burzee, several researchers are unable to agree if that is the infant who had been baptized that day, his father, or his father's uncle (married to an Elizabeth Schertz from Hillsdale). Are there any West Stockbridge cemetery lists available for that time frame? We have not been able to trace any of the children of Hendrick and Elizabeth Schertz Bresee, but have done quite well with Christopher and Agnetje's children. Any hints of where to look for the missing family members would be appreciated. Phyllis

For those of you who may have ancestors coming through Ellis Island, here is the new site that just opened. Some people have been having problems getting in but I think it may be very busy. Good Luck! Margaret in NV http://www.ellisisland.com/

Thank you everyone for your response and now here's hoping I too can make some type of connection for my family. Kay

I didn't see the original posting, but would like to know how to find the death notices or have a lookup for: Edwin Taylor, circa 1756 and was married to Jerusha Rhennie or Rennes. Francee

I too would like to find this information if the person who gave the information on how to locate these death notices would share with everyone or send me the information also. I am search for McMahon's of Berkshire County in Massachusetts. Thank you Kay

To fhyde, Thank you so very much...I will send them a "quick search"..Piketre

In response to the many questions I've received, I accessed the death notice index for The Berkshire Courier at the New England Historic Genealogical Society library in Boston. Their web site is www.nehgs.org.

I would like to ask fhyde@home.com where he/she obtained a search through the Berkshire Courier Death Notices 1834-90. I tried several months ago to locate a Library in Ma. that would do a search and found none. Thanks for your help. Piketre@aol.com

Using the index to Death Notices from The Berkshire Courier, 1834-90, I have identified four entries of interest. Can anyone tell me how I can access the actual notices? Does the Berkshire Athenaeum have copies? I live in Arizona, so I'm not able to visit the library. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might offer. Sharon Flanagan-Hyde fhyde@home.com

Hi Listers, After waiting seven weeks I finally received the death certificate of John Smith. The only problem is that it is not MY John Smith <sigh>. Ah well, I would like to send John to his family, so if you can connect please email me privately and I will be happy to send it on to you. Here is the data: Name: John Smith Marital Status:married Date of Death: Jan. 1, 1852, in Hancock, Berkshire Co. MA. Age: 41 years 11 months 5 days Birthplace: England Father: James Mother: Sarah Hope someone will recognize him. Have fun! Margaret in NV

Margaret is right, The Berkshire Family History Association has been helpful to folks over the years. Sometimes it takes a while for them to respond, but that is usually because they have quite a backlog of research requests. But eventually they will get to you.

Ok I'll try that again----I'm sorry!! http://gemini.berkshire.net/~bfha/ Red faced in Nevada, Margaret

Oooops, I messed up on the BFHA addy. Lets try it again. http://gemimi.berkshire.net/~bfha/ Margaret in NV

Having seen the recent questions about the lack of response from the Pittsfield Library I thought it might be time to send on these two URL's. Perhaps most of you have already tried it but I did find some new information (new to me, that is) on the Pittsfield Library site. Go to the left side of the page and click on Reference. I have never done this but who knows? The second site, for the Berkshire Family History Assoc. is my all time favorite! The people there are tremendously helpful and they work in close contact with the Athenaeum at the Library. Hope it will help someone.

I too have not been able to get a response from the Pittsfield Library and at this point they're the only organization that can help. If the same or another volunteer could look something up for me, I'd be very happy. Below is what I sent them: I am looking for census record for someone I believe to be my 3x g-grandfather Orrin Brigg(s) enumerated in Lenox in 1830 -- and also his birth record in 1797. Another researcher on this list told me of an Orrin Briggs, whose uncle is Allen Briggs, who married Nancy Brown (born 1761) 29 Nov 1778 in Cheshire MA. I am willing to pay for research time, copies and postage. Thanks! Lisa LM Cambridge, England
