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."

pages. Book  is in new condition. Just what you need  for genealogy research. Per the publisher;
This book is designed for the      family researcher who has little or no knowledge of German but who      nevertheless needs to make a translation of German-language documents. The      dictionary covers thousands of German terms and defines them in single words      or brief phrases. All words, symbols, and abbreviations in the dictionary      were chosen on the basis of their association with genealogy, having been      noted in church records, civil registration records, family correspondence,      genealogical journals, ships' passenger lists, and emigration records. Among      the many categories of entries included in the dictionary are family      relationships, days of the week, map terms, legal terms, cardinal and      ordinary numbers, roman numerals, signs of the zodiac, coins, liquid and dry      measures, measures of length, place names, historical territories,      geographical terms, occupations, titles, military ranks, types of taxes,      illnesses, calendar days, male and female given names, heraldry,      abbreviations, books of the Bible, and common genealogical words from      Danish, Dutch, French, Latin, and Polish. In conjunction with a standard      German-English dictionary, the user of this work should be able to make a      word-by-word translation of any German document and understand it.
