I have 4 vital records cds for Massachusetts counties: Barnstable, Essex, Plymouth and Suffolk. Each cd has all the published "Vital Records to 1850" series for towns in that county, and other published early records for towns which are not part of the series. Almost every town is covered (notable missing is Hingham, Plymouth, Massachusetts). I am wiling to do lookups if they are specific. Does anyone have access to vital records of other places and is willing to do lookups in them? I am hare at work on getting the database to a point where i can share it. There are now over 5000 names and stil lots to be entered. I will be putting what I currently have on my web page soon. (Actually, some is there now, but without an index, w/out having purged living people and I haven't yet writtenthe read.me files so won't post the url yet.) I'll be spending the weekend on the indices and, with luck, will be able to share it by tomorrow. Later today, ore tomorrow, I will be posting some "orphans" - a list of KENTs in my database who do not an identified parent.
