NEHGS Look-Ups

To augment our Massachusetts vital records collection:

• Membrino, Marcia L., and Paul A. Russell, eds., Paxton, Massachusetts births, marriages and deaths, 1748-1850, (Bowie, MD : Heritage Books, c1996).
• Van Antwerp, Lee D., comp., and Ruth Wilder Sherman, ed., Vital Records of Plymouth, Massachusetts, to the year 1850', (1993).
• Stover, Margaret Harris, comp., Vital records of Raynham, Massachusetts, (Plymouth, MA : General Society of Mayflower Descendants, 1997).

How about the 1798 Direct Tax of Massachusetts records? I don't know what form they are in, but they should be available at the NEHGS Library.

There are a lot of Maine vital records published that we haven't abstracted yet. There are county-wide marriage return books, of which we have only extracted the one for Cumberland Co. The others are Hancock, Oxford, Penobscot, Waldo, Washington, and York Counties.
