In the coming weeks, a two-person Arcadis inspection team will conduct in-home service line inspections at select Manchester residences. Team members will carry identification badges and wear Arcadis-branded safety vests. If your property is selected for inspection, you will receive a door hanger notice in advance. Please call 860-647-6050 with any questions or concerns.
Due to staffing shortages in the Building Inspection Division, permit processing and inspection scheduling may be delayed. To monitor your permit status, visit the Online Permit Portal or call 860-647-3052. We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience.
Restarting the Genealogy Group
Wednesday, March 8, from 10:00 to noon, the Historical Society's Genealogy Group will meet at the History Center, 175 Pine Street. The group is for all levels of expertise. Free for members, $3.00 for non-members. Questions may be directed to the History Center at 860-647-9983. Dennis Gleeson, the Society's president, explains that the Genealogy Group can help you find your Manchester roots. Here's an example: How the Gleesons ended up in Manchester -- "Edmond Gleeson 1837-1905, married Mary Shanahan 1845-1804 in 1874 at Tipperary, Ireland. By 1875, they were in Manchester with Edward working at Cheney brothers as a teamster. Seven children were born to them on Eldridge Street. By 1900, they were living on Oak Grove Street, and Edmond was working for Hale Livery. Three children lived past 20 years: John Gleeson 1877-1954, Julia Gleeson 1878-1961, and Nora Gleeson Moran 1881-1978." John was Dennis's grandfather.
