Hello, It might be a good time to remind researchers how much information is on the www.mass.gov web site. This is the list of the counties and which towns and cities are in which county: http://www.sec.state.ma.us/ele/elecct/cctidx.htm The site has a fairly good search-engine, so you don't have too much trouble finding what you want on it. I can offer one hint. I keep a "folder" on my "desktop" and it's marked Genealogy. If I have web sites / pages which I refer to often, I "save it to desktop" and then move it into that folder. I could also mention that there are 2 ways to get "free" maps of places (states or countries) - the kind you hold in your hand. You can write or call the Dept. of Transportation at the State House you're interested in and ask them to mail you a "Official Transportation Map of Massachusetts" - for example. Or, you can find the web site for the "Tourism Office" for the state. They will usually send you out a "free" Travel Guide or Vacation Guide - which includes a map. http://www.massvacation.com/ (I just received one for Washington State. And, I've received some from the Province of Quebec in the past.) Betty (near Lowell, MA) FYI: If you scroll down and click on: "all communities" http://www.virginia.gov/community/all.html It might be NY State or PA which seem to have "dozens" of counties.

My favorite city/county/state search tool, which I keep bookmarked in my "Favorites - Links" folder (IE7), is Rootsweb's tool. http://resources.rootsweb.ancestry.com/USA/ It shows Fitchburg in Worcester Co., by the way.
