Genealogical Notes, Or Contributions to the Family History of Some of the First

by Nathaniel Goodwin

A cornerstone of genealogy for the two states, it gives partial genealogies of the settlers--not, as the title would suggest, simply genealogical notes. Many of the genealogies concern Massachusetts families, although the majority concern Connecticut. The entry for each settler gives data such as place of residence, name and parentage of wife, and dates of death, followed by a line of descent almost always to the third generation, and often to the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh.

Don't bother

The book was obviously scanned from printed matter and was not given one reading. Even many of the names and dates are indecipherable. Not a poor edit but a nonexistent one.

I love compilations of records like this one! Unfortunately, only an incredibly small portion of my family is included in it, which is a bit disappointing.
