These two works, now reprinted for handy reference in a single  volume, index over 40,000 references to surnames contained in the printed  registers of English parishes during the years 1601 and 1602. While the two  indexes themselves merely list the surname and the parish register(s) where it  occurred in 1601 and 1602, and the location of the register at the time of  original publication, researchers must realize that these reference are of  considerable value inasmuch as the parish records to which they refer are  nothing less than early 17th-century registers of baptisms, marriages, and  burials. The potential importance of this combined work for American descendants  of 17th-century English colonists, therefore, can scarcely be exaggerated. For a  great many people, then, these references will tell from which parish in England  an ancestor migrated, which parish records to examine, and what other branches  of the family existed at that time. (Our publication commences with a prefatory
List  of Parishes Indexed
, which serves as a key to the references to counties and  parishes after each name in the index.)
"The admirable arrangement of this work deserves especial mention  . . . shows at a glance in what printed registers . . . the surname is to be  found."--
The New England Historical and Genealogical Register
, Vol. LXIV,  No. 4.
