The Bridgewater Births to 1850 are online through the Surname Keith at my web site, thanks to the good work of Coralynn Brown. If you have never used the books on Vital Records to 1850 for a Mass. town these have a lot of information besides the names and dates of birth. Almost all give the parents, some also have the Grand Parents, some what church they were Bap't. in, occupation of Father, Ect. This information was compiled from many sources when the book was written, there is a seperate page for the sources, and marked on the records. Some have several sources besides the town records. Several Towns in Plymouth, Middlesex and Norfolk Counties are in there as where parents and grand parents came from. These records may be found at: http://www.rays-place.com/town/bridgewater/index.htm or at Jane Devlins web site at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jdevlin/source_files/bw_main.htm Both web sites have the same records for Bridgewater, only differance is I tend to make more smaller pages, Jane puts a lot more on a page. Have found that some like it each way, so you have a choice. Both of these web sites also have hundreds of other pages that are not the same as well as a few the same, so why not explore both of them. I have to admit that Jane has added a lot more than I have lately, but we are both working on it. Her keyboard has to be on fire from all her new pages to the web site.
