Some of those pamphlets seem to do a better job of citing more original sources than others. #48, for example (Hawes on Richard Taylor, tailor, and some of his descendants) cites many sources, but others, such as #75 (Swift? on Taylor Family of Yarmouth) cites none except a few at the end. I'm seeking opinions of experienced researchers on the quality of the content of this Cape Cod series. Thoughts?
