Is the following article available on line? I can't find it in a web search, or at NEHGS or the Minuteman library system. Even a good abstract would be useful. "Widowhood in eighteenth-century Massachusetts: a problem in the history of the family" by Alexander Keyssar. Perspectives in American history 8(02/1974); 8:83-119. It is referenced in the book "The Family Tree Problem Solver" by Marsha Hoffman Rising. adTHANKSvance!

The journal "Perspectives in American History" was published from 1967-1979, and from 1984-1986. For a listing of contents see: http://warrencenter.fas.harvard.edu/historyperspectives.html Check with nearby colleges and universities with a strong history department to see if they have it.
