That volume is in three parts - three individual books covering different branches of the Doty family. "MF 11:1" refers to volume 11, part 1 - the families of Edward^2 and John^2 Doty. MF volumes (or as many call them, "Silver Books," from the color of the bindings) are in many large libraries, though it may be difficult to get one through interlibrary loan since they are normally found in non-circulating reference sections. They are available from the Circulating Library for NEHGS members. Dale H. Cook USGenWeb Plymouth County MA Towns http://www.rootsweb.com/~macbrock/sites.html
