Genealogy / Family History

Researchers may not use the records in the Town Clerk's Safe. They are directed to microfilm copies in the local history room of the Berkshire Athenaeum, 1 Wendell Ave, Pittsfield, MA 01201. The Athenaeum's number is 413-499-9486.
 
We have two appointed Historical Commission members who can also assist you in your genealogy research. You can contact Catherine Mardula (cmardula@cwmars.org) or Carol Hardy-Fanta (hardyfanta@gmail.com) for assistance with your genealogy research.
