I do not want to start a discussion on any of the lists about Philip's posting but I felt that the statement was incomplete... -- I concur with Phil in regards the incomplete index in Old Kittery and Her Families....such as missing omissions,not in alphabetical order,etc., BUT, these are not serious errors, and the reason I state this is because many of the OLD BOOKS were NOT INDEXED...and if this one is missing some here and there, so what! a serious searcher will find the information whether it's indexed or not. -- When one posts to lists, the receiver should ALWAYS VERIFY THE SOURCE...regardless of from what or where the information came from...do not take anything for granted...as NO ONE was or is perfect.... not even Stackpole, Dow, Torrey ,or any other author,living or dead. -- Books are a good starting point for researchers...often have good information and often give clues as to what or where to search... I consider book sources a "helping hand" and that's all they should be.
