For those of you who have early ancestors in Braintree, MA - I was just notified by Frank Dyer that he has completed his web pages for Samuel A. Bates "Vital Records of Braintree, Massachusetts 1640-1793" Fletch _______________ I have completed transcribing the Vital Records of Braintree, Mass. (1640-1793) by Samuel A. Bates, 1886. All names have been put into alphabetical order by Surname & Given name, and reference the page numbers of the above volume. There are four categories; Births; Deaths; Marriages, sorted by the Groom's name, and Marriages sorted by the Bride's name. This makes the information much easier to find & a great companion to the "Sprague" collection. You can access this work on my web site: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~dyer New England Dyer Connection. ________ Scroll to the link at: Vital Records of Braintree, Massachusetts 1640-1793 Completed 3/15/00
