Family Archives CD #526
Retail Value of Books Included: $468.00
The research value of this CD, with its 570,000 entries, is evident in its
sweeping coverage. Over a half-million Massachusetts residents, almost all of
them living during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and named in
eighteen books published by the Genealogical Publishing Company, can be located
in this one resource in just a fraction of the time needed to consult the
original works (and at a fraction of the cost of the original works). While
exploring the early Commonwealth period in such books as Pioneers of
Massachusetts, by Charles H. Pope, and List of Freemen of Massachusetts,
by Lucius R. Paige, and focusing on marriage records in the overlapping time
period in books such as Early Massachusetts Marriages Prior to 1800, by
Frederic W. Bailey, and Boston Births, Baptisms, Marriages, and Deaths,
1630-1699, by William S. Appleton, the majority of the books featured on
this CD deal with vital records, passenger lists, censuses, and military records
of a slightly later era.
Including the first two censuses of Massachusetts for 1790 and 1800,
information found in this CD generally consists of name, age, and occupation,
date and place of birth, marriage, and death, date of arrival, place of
residence, family relationships, details of military service, and date and place
of burial. Connections from one book to another make this CD a formidable
research tool.
