The Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury, Massachusetts - Genealogy - HC 1982

Description

This book has the Original Three Volumes and Supplement complete in One Volume.  It was written by David W. Hoyt and published by Genealogical Publishing in 1982.  This hardcover is 8-¾” high by 5-¾” wide, it has 1097 pages and has indexes.
This book is in VG condition, there is some underlining and/or margin marks on just a few pages and there is a previous owner’s bookplate on the front endpaper, still a nice copy.
Originally published in a dozen or more parts between 1897 and 1919, this book is not only the genealogical record of a New England town but the complete record of an entire region, that of the lower Merrimack Valley. Not content with publishing the genealogies of more than 300 families, each traced through at least five or six generations in accordance with the most rigid standards of documentation, Hoyt further provides us with hundreds of pages of source records, including thousands of baptism, marriage, and death records from the period 1720 to 1800, many of them compiled from record sources which no longer exist.
