What this index covers
This collection of books showcases family history articles about Rhode Island families that were published in The New England Historical and Genealogical Register. Over the past 140 years, this selection has compiled some of the finest genealogical articles relating to Rhode Island.
This index is quite fascinating, as it comprises source records from at least 15 early Rhode Island towns. Approximately 46,000 individuals are listed in these records, most of whom date to the late 1600s through the late 1800s. The amount of information available on each individual depends on the original record, but this database is an invaluable resource for genealogical research, with a diverse range of important source materials.
