Hi Bob and cousins,
It turns out this is the same article previously mentioned.
Question - Are the wills and VR's quoted within the article
subject to copyright law or can I quote them entirely verbatim,
since they are a matter of public record, while putting the rest
of the article the way I would express it? Or must I just try
to pull out extracts of the wills because they are in a publication
copyrighted since 1923? Whatever the answer, it will not get
accomplished tonight.

Would someone with the Essex Co CD of Early Vital Records
do a small lookup for me?
My subject is Abraham Hobbs, born c 1740 to Abraham and
Sarah (Brown?) Hobbs. All his siblings were born and recorded
in Topsfield, but he, the first born is not. I've found an indirect
reference that suggests that Sarah Brown was ''of Ipswich".
Would Ipswich or a neighboring town hold a marriage & birth
record for these Abraham Hobbs/Hobs ancestors?
Thanks!

I have received a certified birth register transcription from the Mass
Archives that is Blatantly in error.
Is there a way to amend a record from as far back as 1905 to correct this
error and how exactly were these registers created? The birth was in Lynn.
Does an original certificate from Essex county perhaps still exist that I
might be able to obtain and how would I go about doing this?
Any info on how this process worked pre-1906 would be helpful in explaining
the error and possibly correcting it.

This CD contains an absolute wealth of information. As an example, for my

extracting and documenting information on my surname and collateral

I purchased my copy through Bob Bamford's Essex Books at

Leslie,
The most useful CD I own is FTM #231, Marriage Index: Massachusetts
1633-1850. In fact, I use it so much that it sits in my CDROM drive
unless I need to use something else. The book(s) I use the most are
the three volumes of THE GREAT MIGRATION BEGINS by Robert Charles
Anderson and NEW ENGLAND MARRIAGES PRIOR TO 1700 by Clarence Almon
Torrey. And it's time to start hinting that the New England Historic
Genealogical Register on CDROM would make a great Christmas present!

Hello, Robert --
The GREAT genealogist was Walter Goodwin Davis. The article
appeared in The American Genealogist in the early 1940s, and the
substance of the article appeared in his series of 16 books on his
ancestors, later repackaged into three volumes entitiled "Massachusetts
and Maine Families in the Ancestry of Walter Goodwin Davis." His
criticism of Pierce's genealogy of the Foster is particularly directed
toward Pierce's so-called ancestry of the Foster/Forster family in
England.

Probably so. And?

(at the risk of stating the obvious)...and so, the early marriage of Haverhill

later records are much more likely

Hi,
According to Paul Smith, author and web master for a web site called,
Archaic Medical Terms for Genealogists, defines "Dropsy of the Brain" as
encephalitis.
He has a very unique site that I've found very helpful in the past. He is
associated with the University of Dundee in England and operate
I was looking in Charter Street Burial Ground Inscriptions and found
Sarah Teague, wife of John. She died 14 Aug 1767, age 32.
Hope that helps.
