Description:
Long considered to be one of the most definitive sources for western Massachusetts research.
Walter E. Corbin (1885-1960) and his wife Lottie (Squier) Corbin (1884-1980), residents of Northhampton, Massachuessetts, became professional genealogists in 1932. In the tenure of their professional lives the Corbins transcribed vital records, cemeteries, town histories, town records and other sources. The R. Stanton Avery Special Collections at the New England Historic Genealogical Society houses the Corbin Collection. Until now these records have been available only in manuscript and microfilm format. Now researchers have unprecedented access to the original work in this massive collection of materials in a three-volume collection of new, fully-searchable electronic publications. Western Massachusetts was a great crossroads for migration from southern New England to Vermont and New Hampshire, as well as from eastern Massachusetts and Maine out to New York, Pennsylvania, and beyond.
In addition to towns in Berkshire and Franklin Counties and the drowned towns of Hampden, Hampshire and Worcester counties, this CD-Rom includes records from Charlestown, Dedham, Dighton, Dorchester, Dunstable, Enfield, Groton, Hingham, Marshfield, Middleboro, Paxton, Pepperell, Prescott, Plymouth, Shirley and Watertown; Gilead, Norwalk, Stafford, Stamford, West Sattford, and Willington, Connecticut; Farley and Epworth, Iowa; Gosport, New Hampshire; Cleveland, Ohio; and South Kingstown, Rhode Island.
