For those interested in celebrating the nation’s 250th birthday in an unusual way this year, the Middletown Historical Society has a great way of doing it! You can be part of the team transcribing pension records of patriots from Middletown during the Revolution.
According to Middletown Historical Society Board of Trustees president Tom Valenti, if you have free time and do not mind reading two-hundred-year-old handwriting, let the Society know if you are interested in volunteering.
Volunteers, on their own time, will transcribe the records on the National Archives website (with an assist from Valenti and AI technology) right from the comfort of your own home. This will make the records more accessible to everyone around the world. You can send a copy to the Historical Society as well, so information from Middletown patriots can be shared with our community in other formats.
A number of records have already been transcribed but more await. For more information on how you can help, simply e-mail the Society and they will be in touch in the New Year! If you already have any experience with historic transcriptions, let Valenti them know that as well.
Serving with Valenti on the Board of Trustees are Peter VanNortwick, vice president, Gail Nelsen, treasurer, James Hinckley secretary, and Raymond J. Veth.
The Middletown Township Historical Society was founded in 1968 and is dedicated to preserving and promoting the history of Middletown, one of the oldest European settlements in the state. The Society is independent of the municipality  of Middletown and registered as a non-profit 501(c)(3).
