I have this book--I didn't think of it as compiled genealogies though. Sorry if I misled Charles earlier. I use this book as a "they were here" reference, and I have a lot more to learn about genealogy in general, that's for sure. To me a compiled genealogy is like what you would see in an issue of the NEHGS register, with the generations broken out, is that right?

Charles - The one that comes to mind is Samuel Deane, "History of Scituate, Massachusetts, from Its First Settlement to 1831" (Boston: James Loring, 1831; repr. N. Scituate MA: Bates and Vinal, 1899; Scituate MA: Scituate Historical Society, 1975), which contains family registers. Scans are on the USGIS site at: http://www.usigs.org/library/books/ma/Scituate1831Dean/ but you will need the ability to view TIF images in order to read them. Dale H.
