Conway genealogy will be the subject of the program at the next meeting of the Colrain Historical Society. The event will be held Thursday, September 10 in the Stacy Barn behind the Pitt House at 8 Main Road. A business meeting at 7:00 p.m. will precede the program at 7:30.

A resident of Conway since 1974, Lee Whitcomb brought a life-long passion for genealogy and history to the genealogy working group preparing for Conway’s 250th anniversary in 2017. The result will be an updating of the town’s history, with genealogies of many of the town’s residents and a website containing much of the new information. What she has learned about early Conway residents, their lives and some connections to Colrain will be the topic of her illustrated talk. She will also address issues of genealogical research.

Refreshments will be served and the program is open to the public. For information call Belden at 624-3453.
