On Tuesday evenings beginning January 16, the library will offer a series of presentations about researching your family history. In the first session, Jan. 16 at 6:30, Dawn Morin will teach how to do genealogical research, offer some of the forms most commonly used, share tips she has learned over the years, and discuss some online sources.
The following Thursday, Jan. 23, Jean Nudd of the Conte National Archives in Pittsfield will describe the resources available there. On the 30th, Kathy Reilly of the Berkshire Athenaeum will present information on the extensive resources available in that library's Local History & Genealogy Department. On Feb. 6 representatives from the North Adams Historical Society and North Adams Public Library will describe resources available locally.
If participants so desire, a fifth session may be scheduled to further pursue questions and suggest more resources.
The genealogical research series is free and open to all, but people are asked to register by calling 662-3133 so that sufficient handouts will be available.

How funny to see this post. I'm "googling" from Michigan because my grandmother lived in North Adams for a time. I just spotted the family's last name in a postcard listed with the N. Adams library so I came to the library's site to check it out. Wish I could stop in for the Family History session...but the commute would be a bit long!
Hey, MJ, We're glad you stopped by. If you want some help with your genealogical research, either come on out when you can, or you can ask us for a specific lookup or two. There is a small fee for this service (see policies > fees), but we do provide limited research services.
