Hi listers, I have recently changed my email address (again!) to rjseaver@cox.net If I am in your address list, please change it before 28 February, when mt old eddress will be discontinued. As I've noted before, I have collected quite a bit of data on SEAVER descendants of Robert Seaver, who came to Roxbury MA in 1634 from England, and married Elizabeth Ballard. If you think you might be a descendant of Robert Seaver and are stuck ("ancestrally challenged"), please email me for help or suggestions. My collection includes SEAVER/SEVER data from: * Mass Vital Record data from town records (published books), up to 1850. * Mass Vital Record data (from MA Archives indices/books) for 1841 to 1900. * NH and VT Vital Record data from card files (mostly before 1880) * MA land records (Worcester, Middlesex, Suffolk counties only) for 1630-1850. * MA probate records (Worcester, Middlesex, Suffolk counties only) for 1630-1880. * Data from many town history books thorughout New England * US census data for 1790-1870, based on census index for SEAVER/SEVER, LEAVER/LEVER, etc. * US census data for 1880 (from LDS CDROM) for SEAVER/SEVER, LEAVER/LEVER, etc. * US census soundex data for 1900 for New England and New York * US census soundex data for 1920 for MA * data and notes from email and snail mail correspondents * data mined from the Web - especially www.genealogy.com and www.rootsweb.com WorldConnect files.
