Source Materials

These documents are supplements to other existing sources, or are themselves useful reference works. I don't do lookups.

1. Colonial Families of the United States of America: This document is a master index to the most significant surnames of the whole seven volumes of Colonial Families of the United States of America , by George Norbury Mackenzie. It is not a complete name index. (ColonialFamilies.html 2005-02-23 22:28:04 46KB)
2. Early Connecticut Marriages: An index to the towns in Bailey's Early Connecticut Marriages . Why a town index? If you have ever worked with this source, you know very well why: The towns are not treated in any sort of order! You must examine the table of contents of each of the seven volumes -- and the list of towns reporting records lost or destroyed. I've done that for you. This is essentially an index to the tables of contents of the seven volumes. (EarlyCTMarriages.html 2005-02-23 21:56:54 27KB)
3. Dictionary of Ancient Occupations and Trades, Ranks, Offices, and Titles: Dictionary of Ancient Occupations and Trades, Ranks, Offices, and Titles , defined and arranged in alphabetical order. Emphasis on England and its 16th and 17th century colonies. (Occupations.html 2008-06-12 11:43:54 17KB)
