    pages. Book is in excellent  condition.  Originally published 1860-1862 this is a 1998 reprint. This is  the first place to look to find your New England Ancestors. Probably one of the  most quoted and sourced set of books for that area.  Per the publisher;
    This is the basic genealogical dictionary of early New England settlers,  giving the name of every settler who arrived in New England before 1692  regardless of their station, rank, or fortune. Alphabetically arranged for each  it gives the dates of his marriage and death, dates of birth, marriage and death  of his children, and birthdates and names of the grandchildren. According to the  author, "nineteen twentieths of the people of these New England colonies in 1775  were descendants of those found here in 1692, and probably seven-eighths of them  were offspring of the settlers before 1642."
