There's no doubt that New England, and especially Massachusetts, is a great place for genealogical research. Just down the road from me in Springfield, the Hampden County Registry of Deeds holds original documents dating back to 1636 when Springfield was originally settled. If you can't find what you need there, there are also early 17th, 18th and 19th century documents in the archives at the Museum of Springfield History. > From: ancestoring@gmail.com > To: transitional-genealogists-forum@rootsweb.com > Date: Mon, 8 Oct 2012 11:26:58 -0400 > Subject: [TGF] New England > > No wonder people like doing research in New England!
