All genealogical research depends on authentic vital and historical records. Researchers of Stamford, Connecticut, an important New England town founded in 1641, have long depended on flawed transcriptions and abstracts of early town records. This new book, an extensively annotated version of the Town of Stamford’s 1882 transcription, rectifies that situation. Paul R. Finch has consulted the original records (which are fragile and partly illegible) and other primary sources, and incorporated research by Donald Lines Jacobus and others.

This PG shows you how to advance genealogical research into Rhode Island ancestors using the information from the state census, which was first taken as early as 1742 and as late as 1935.

The four-page laminated guide can fit easily in your research binder.
