    1. [NHSULLIV-L] NORTHAMPTON, MA Marriages thru to 1800s
    2. <A HREF="http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ifetch2?/u1/data/ma+index+13284157+ F">Marriages thru to 1800s at Northampton, MA</A> This database is huge...the marriages recorded range from the mid 1600s thru 1800s and the folks came from Hawley, Hatfield, Sunderland, Springfield, Hadley, Sharon, Worthington, Newburyport, Williamsburgh, Amherst, Weston, VT, CT, NH and more (even as far away as NY and Ohio and even S.C.) Most of the marriages took place at the time of the French Indian Wars ... this is a difficult time to trace ancestors because the people moved frequently due to Indian attacks and out of the forts when their men fought the wars. This site has so many many of those people, from the CT River area, from the forts on the frontier.. Here I found the elusive parents of one of these early families...that I had been tracing for three weeks! Like I said this database is pure gold!
