| More details about Massachusetts, 1600s-1900s Probate, Town, & Vital Records: |
|
Between 1630 and 1642, approximately 30,000 people left England for Massachusetts.
By the time of the American Revolution, nearly everyone still in Massachusetts
could trace their ancestry to one of those 30,000 people. This data set lists
more than 160,000 individuals in probate records, town histories, and vital
records. This variety of records allows you to piece together quite a comprehensive
record of your Massachusetts ancestors.
Each of the following
towns or counties has at least one volume dedicated to it in this data: Barnstable,
Bristol, Duxbury, Eastham, Fairhaven, Haverhill, Middleborough, Orleans, Plymouth,
Sandwich, Scituate, Stoneham, and Suffolk. This material may also be of interest
to those with early Rhode Island ancestors since Massachusetts' Bristol County
included the Rhode Island towns or areas of Bristol, Warren, Barrington, Little
Compton, and Tiverton until 1747.
