does anyone have the book "the Winslow Papers" who could do a lookup for me. does the book have an Index? I have a Winslow pedigree chart which has a notation at the bottom that the marriage of Hannah Winslow (d/o of John Hayward & Abigail (nee Fenno) Winslow) to Josiah Winchester is "documented" in this book. i understand that this book is well researched and obtains accurate information. i know this is a "secondary source" but have no "primary souces" at present time i would appreciate having the passage quoted where this marriage is mentioned. thanks in advance Schani Biermann

Hi Schani, You didn't give any bibliographical information, so I'm assuming that the book you have in mind is one edited by W. O. Raymond. [However "the Winslow Papers" could be a name given to a variety of collections in various libraries, so this might not be what you're looking for.] Books in Print says there is a reprint available from the publisher Best Books for just under $150. So it may be that this is not on the shelves of very many of us on the list. I hope someone has it for you, but if not there are a couple of other possibilities that come to my foggy old mind. It is held by the Allen County Public Library, and it is my understanding that it isn't too hard to find someone who will do lookups there for a fee. http://catalog.acpl.lib.in.us/uhtbin/cgisirsi/sl8aWsLjDq/178920026/9 Probably a better bet--The NEHGS also has it, and they have a variety of research services--you could look at this page and see if anything would work for you: http://www.newenglandancestors.org/research/services/ This is the book at NEHGS: http://www.newenglandancestors.org/libraries/sydneyplus.asp However, if you have a local Family History Center, you can rent a microfilm of the book at nominal cost, and look at the whole thing, not just copy of a page or so. This is from the online catalog of the Family History Library at the LDS site: "Title Winslow papers, A.D. 1776-1826 Authors Raymond, W. O.

About 150 of his letters are included in this work."
