Just thought I'd pass this along for anyone researching in this area. This was posted in the "Weekly Genealogist" newsletter from NEHGS: Bennington Town Clerk’s Office, Vermont<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=eksel7bab&et=1109132392485&s=47566&e=001r-7b_AZk-RIemR9F-ZYQxZym9dxiAac7Zs7zamHGYGqbQxzVECIwr9Ra6ZSqiB0zRxxBP6T-w30_65mjGhXDx6LoesqjXtjBB1f0hL86fpzHekat_2ZtUfmMnbfX4lSdpX1U-NgWUzumADm-2LY8bQ==> Bennington is in southwestern Vermont in Bennington County, on the Vermont-New York border. The Bennington Town Clerk’s Office has made vital records, cemetery records, and other genealogical information available on its website. Links to these resources may be found in the contents list at the left side of the page beneath the Vital Records tab. Cemetery Databases Click on the Burial Information link to access the records. There are two cemetery databases. One is arranged alphabetically by cemetery name and the other is alphabetical by last name of the deceased. The databases are in Microsoft Excel file format. Click on the link to download the file. The data fields in the database are name of deceased; date of birth; date of death; name of spouse, if married; name of parents; age (years / months / days); and name of cemetery. Vital Records Click on the Genealogical Information link to access the vital records databases. The databases are in Microsoft Word file format. There are four alphabetical vital records databases – births, deaths, and marriages. They cover the period from 1763 to 1850. The data fields in the births index are name, gender, book / page, date of birth, and the names of the father and mother. The data fields in the deaths index are name, gender, book / page, age (years / months / days), and the names of the deceased’s father and mother. The data fields for the two marriage indexes are the same, but the order of the first two fields is reversed depending on whether it is organized by bride or groom. The data fields are bride, groom, book, page, and date of marriage. Early Town Records Book A-1 of the early Bennington town records have been transcribed and uploaded to the Town Clerk’s website. There are three files in Microsoft Word file format. The first file covers the first twenty pages of the original town records book. The original book then starts over at page 1 and the first 200 pages comprise the second Microsoft Word file. The third file covers the rest of the book.
