The New England Historical and Genealogical Register Volume 1 1847

<p>This quarterly journal commonly called simply <em>The Register</em> is certainly the oldest and arguably the best genealogical periodical published in the United States. Within its volumes researchers will find some of the most valuable genealogical compilations and source record transcriptions to be found anywhere. It is difficult one might even say foolhardy to attempt to do research on New England families without reference to this important series.</p><p>However copies of the original editions of these volumes are becoming increasingly difficult to find so Heritage Books has reprinted the early volumes of this important serial in order to make them more accessible to the rank and file genealogist. Each volume has an index and in addition a comprehensive index to the first fifty volumes is also available. In the description below it is only possible to touch on some of the main articles-each volume also contains much additional material.</p><p>Register Volume I 1847 Genealogies: Butler Chase Cotton Endicott Farmer; Gookin Minot Parsons and Wolcott.
