It has an exceptional collection of, genealogical records, Cape and New England history books and bound local papers. It houses, for instance, the Vital Records of most Massachusetts towns to 1850; "Mass. Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolutionary and in six volumes the "Lives of The Chief Fathers of New England."

Special attention is given recreational facilities and a state-by-state calendar of important events. It's Printed, all summer, at places below! :P.v at The publication also includes Have you "misplaced'1 a Cape Cod Yankee while climbing your family tree? If so, it might prove rewarding to try to "find" him during a leisurely trip to the peninsula.

Settlers of Cape Cod and the Massachusetts Bay Colony were probably too busy to talk about their forebears. Today, however, more and more families are "searching" their ancestors. Young and old are enthusiasts about family lineage and often in their leisure time are engaged in "do-it-yourself" gen- ealogical projects. Those who suspect that they have a "Cane character" in their family background find on Cape Cod long-forgotten information readily available without many hours of arduous research. Each person, or family, has his own personal approach to a "search." However, in the absence of definite "clues," we suggest you start at the Stur-1 gis, Library, Barnstable, which has an exceptional collection of genealogical records.

Then, if necessary, contact Town Clerks' offices for vital statistics. Visit, too, the Barnstable County Courthouse, Barnstable, where probate, land and mortage records are maintained. During your don't overlook many other facinating sources of historical material, for instance, the centuries-old cemetery inscriptions are extremely valuable. Wander through the yards where you think your ancestor may be resting. Early church records, diaries, logs, museums and the historical society homes of the Cape's IS towns should be explored.

The Sturgis Library, by the way, is privately endowed. (Hours: Tuesday and Thursday, 2-5; 7-9; Saturday, 10-12; 2-5.) The two story colonial house was once the residence of Captain William Sturgis. It was or-ginally built for the Reverend John Lothrop about 1644. The library opened in 1867 and has pilot to pilot information on how to fly to Expo '67 and the pleasures of camping out by plane, There are some 1,500 general aviation aircraft airborne every minute of the day somewhere over the United States. OLD STURBRIDGE VILLAGE, along the New England Heritage Trail in Massachusetts, consists of original buildings reconstructed to represent a New England village of the early 19th century.
