Local Genealogical Gems : American-Canadian Genealogical Society Book Series

This week's local resource of the week is a couple of days late. Snow and work got in between my genealogical pursuits. The American-Canadian Genealogical Society (ACGS) has assembled numerous local church records into book form along with many other items.

The ACGS was founded in 1973 in Manchester, New Hampshire. Individual membership is $35 per year. Contact information for the society is below.
