New England Historical and Genealogical Society

Vital Records of Swansea, Massachusetts to 1850

The following was excerpted from the introduction to this volume, which is not a part of the official "1850" series:

"The town of Swansea, founded in 1667, lies in a key geographical position at the head of Narragansett and Mount Hope Bays, originally encompassing land now in Somerset, Massachusetts, and Barrington and Warren, Rhode Island. Through it passed many Plymouth and Bristol County families, often Mayflower descendants, heading west into Rhode Island and beyond. Given this history, it is rather surprising that Swansea's vital records have not been published in full until now.

"Unfortunately any attempt, however poor, at presenting information often deters subsequent, more thorough efforts, and the delay in this case was certainly due in part to the existence of some earlier, incomplete transcriptions which are described in detail in the introductions to each section.

"Because of the persistence and dedication of the late H.L. Peter Rounds, NEHGS is able, finally, to publish these Vital Records of Swansea, Massachusetts to 1850. Mr. Rounds began transcribing them from microfilm in the early 1980s. While it was not his initial intent to provide a literal transcription, others from whom he sought advice convinced him to copy the original records as exactly as possible. He was for some time unsuccessful in finding a publisher. In the mid-1980s, however, the Society accepted his proposal and purchased the manuscript with funds provided by John Brooks Threlfall of Madison, Wisconsin."

The original text is available at the NEHGS Library and through the NEHGS Circulating Library. The call number is REF F74/S995/R68/1992.

Massachusetts Vital Records to 1850

New Town - Medfield

At the turn of the twentieth century NEHGS was instrumental in the effort to purchase books of vital statistics to the year 1850 for the 351 cities and towns in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. By 1945 the vital records for over 200 of these municipalities had been published. Many of these volumes were added to NewEnglandAncestors.org in weekly installments during 2002. This marked the first time these records were made available online in their original context, including the original source citations.

The newest addition to this database is the town of Medfield in Norfolk County.

The Vital Records to 1850 series is available at the Research Library, and most volumes are available to NEHGS members through the Circulating Library. The call number for this volume is REF F74/M48/M54/1903.

Records of Sterling, Massachusetts

In 1942, Grace Olive Chapman transcribed and compiled inscriptions from the Leg Cemetery in Sterling in Worcester County, Massachusetts. These transcriptions recently became available in our Cemetery Transcriptions database. In a separate chapter of this manuscript, Mrs. Chapman compiled additional genealogical information on the individuals buried in the cemetery found in other sources. Due to differences in formatting, the two sections could not be combined in the same database. We recommend that interested members open two browser windows to explore both related databases.

Calvary Cemetery; Cemetery near Old Sage Place; Federal Street Cemetery; Green River Cemetery; High Street Cemetery; Log Plain Cemetery; Lower Meadows Cemetery; Old Catholic Cemetery; and Upper Meadows Cemetery.
