Hello All
I recently got a copy of the Athol MA VR to the year 1849/50. This includes
birth, marriage, and death records. Below is a short paragraph about Athol
and its beginnings. I am willing to do lookups. There are alot of names in
this book that I recognize from these lists. So send me a couple at a time
and I will do them that way. jackie
