Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Proceedings of the New-England Historic Genealogical Society, at the Annual Meeting, January 2, 1889
But it must not for a moment be supposed that the people who live in any given town are the only persons interested in its records or concerned for the preservation of them. All of our towns, both ancient and modern, have contributed no small portion of their population to build up and develop the other parts of our rapidly growing country. There is hardly a remote corner of any one of the states and territories of the West where representatives of our New England families are not to be found. They naturally feel a peculiar pride in the place of their birth, and the children of these exiles should be encouraged to keep constantly in mind the home of their fathers. The publication of these records, therefore, interests a much larger number of people than are to be found within the limits of any single town, and these printed volumes reach more readers than we can easily imagine.
It is not necessary for the present purpose to go into details. But a few practical suggestions will not be out of place.
