Description:
It is estimated that only 30% of all seventeenth-century births and 43% of all eighteenth-century births are recorded in the vital records of Boston. Only 8% of all deaths in Boston between 1630 and 1810 were recorded.
This makes the records of Boston's churches critical for finding this otherwise lost information. Many of the church transcriptions extend well into the 1800s. All available extant records, many never before in print, are presented here in a single collection for the first time!
Sixteen of the twenty-one churches then in existence are represented: First, Second, First Baptist, Old South, King's Chapel, Brattle Street, New North, New South, New Brick, Christ, Federal Street (Now Arlington Street), Hollis Street, Trinity, New, Second Baptist, and Baldwin Place churches, as well as the First Church, Second Parish, and Third Parish of Roxbury.PC: Pentium I or higher processor; Windows 98, NT, 4.0, 2000, or XP operating system. 28 mb hard disk space minimum (32 mb recommended); VGA or higher resolution video adapter for monitor (SVGA Monitor 256-color or higher recommended).
