I just discovered that my local family history center has a CD-ROM of the NEHGS from 1847 through 1994. The set has an index, so I should be able to find my way around unaided. But, I thought I'd ask if there are any especially outstanding articles about the Putnams that I ought to read first, or that I might somehow miss in the index, especially about Putnams leaving Salem, and particularly especially about some of them leaving Massachusetts, and why.

Hi Lester Here is a collection of some of the best Putnam articles online. One hundred years of Putnam articles from 'The American Genealogist', 'New England Historic Genealogical Register', etc. http://www.geocities.com/randputnam/articles.htm If you haven't seen them, they come with my highest recommendation(That's 5 Daves). My personal list appropriate connection is to the couple Caleb Putnam(great great grandson of John Putnam and Priscilla Gould who settled early in Salem) and Elizabeth Nurse(great granddaughter of Rebecca Nurse).
