I have Olds and Kelsey ancestors from Berkshire County. I'm just sitting here watching bowl games and have my laptop open. The database with Massachusetts vital records is on the NEHGS website at www.newenglandancestors.org Membership to the organization, which is the oldest genealogical society in the US, is $75 per year. If you have a bunch of New England ancestors, it's definitely worth it. I spend a lot of time in the Mass records but my wife also has RI ancestors and there is lots of data available for Providence, for example. Happy Hunting.
