One Rhode Island Family

I have received some questions recently about various periodicals related to Rhode Island genealogy.  Which ones are worth seeking out? Let’s review them all.

Rhode Island Roots

Published by the Rhode Island Genealogical Society since 1975, four issues per year cover family genealogies, articles and advice about local resources, valuable transcription projects, news, book reviews, and queries. The unique stories of Rhode Island’s families are regularly featured.  A top notch journal with footnotes that provide enormous insight into Rhode Island’s record sets and their application, RI Roots should always be consulted for any pre-1900 Rhode Island family or for examples of research practices in each town or era. It is also a good place to consider submitting your own articles on Rhode Island topics.

Annually, an additional “Gleanings” volume provides transcribed town council records from one of Rhode Island’s towns, properly indexed; such work is not available anywhere else.

A membership to the Rhode Island Genealogical Society includes a subscription to current issues.  For access to older volumes, check availability through the Rhode Island Genealogical Society website.

Rhode Island Roots is published four times per year, plus a bonus issue with “Gleanings” of local town records.

Rhode Island History

Published by the Rhode Island Historical Society, Rhode Island History has been published since 1942, in four issues per year. Initially covering both Rhode Island’s history and its genealogy, a decision was eventually made to discontinue genealogy articles, which was one motivation for the formation of the separate Rhode Island Genealogical Society in 1975.  So look for genealogical articles in the early years, and fascinating stories about Rhode Island’s history, artifacts, customs, historic sites, and folkways in the full range of issues.

Available through membership in the Rhode Island Historical Society, back issues are available online at the Rhode Island Historical Society website.

Rhode Island History features interesting articles on Rhode Island’s unique history.

Narragansett Historical Register  

Full name: The Narragansett historical register : a magazine devoted to the antiquities, genealogy and historical matter illustrating the history of the state of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.  Founded and published by James Newell Arnold, better known for his published indices of Rhode Island’s early vital records (Vital Record of Rhode Island), the Narragansett Historical Register ran for 9 volumes, 1882-1891.  Originally “devoted to the antiquities, genealogy and historical matters illustrating the history of the Narragansett Country, or Southern Rhode Island,” the issues gradually came to represent work concerning all areas of Rhode Island.  One feature in most issues was the abstracted vital record sets which eventually became the basis for the larger and more complete volumes of vital record indices; in fact Mr. Arnold ceased publication of this journal as that new project grew in size and complexity. Historical sites, articles by local genealogists, queries, transcribed journals and church records, historical events and documents, snippets of local history, and the more than occasional poem fill out the issues, interspersed with editorial reflections and countless quirky stories found nowhere else. Sometimes Mr. Arnold reported on family genealogies in production which may or may not have eventually produced a published book; perhaps one could follow up searching for surviving manuscript notes from those authors. Illustrations and maps in the online copies will no longer be under copyright and might make nice graphics for our own family genealogies today.

All volumes are online and may be downloaded.  Each volume is indexed at the front (last name only).

No human can resist these adorable volumes of the Narragansett Historical Register reprinted by Heritage Press.

Rhode Island Genealogical Register

Alden G. Beaman, like James N. Arnold 100 years before him, launched a series of vital records (Rhode Island Vital Records, New Series) and a genealogy periodical.  Rhode Island Genealogical Register is the genealogy periodical, which ran for 20 volumes, 1978-1996, produced by Mr Beaman and other interested family members.  No longer in print, and still under copyright, the volumes must be perused in a library, or purchased used. Much of the content consisted of abstracts of records which, today, are available digitally and are searchable elsewhere. For instance, in a long series called “They Left Rhode Island,” census records of other states were culled for residents with Rhode Island origins and lists of abstracted records were produced; a digital search would handle this now, although possibly one could try a quick check in case such records had been badly transcribed in online indexing.

Probably the most valuable contents are the probate abstracts for numerous Rhode Island towns.  Volume 16 consists of an index of all the probate abstracts contained in volumes 1 – 15; it is often called the “Will Index.”  One looks for a name in the Will Index, follows the citation to the probate abstract in another volume, and from there gathers the citation for the original town probate location including book and page numbers and uses that information to track down the original records.  Although very far from complete, and the abstracts may contain assumptions or errors, this can be a quick and easy start to a probate search.  But a more thorough search for probate would be to utilize the complete town probate books (on microfilm) located on Ancestry.com, or of course in the town offices.

Cemetery abstracts appear from time to time as well as some land abstracts, church records, freeman records, book reviews and articles.  It is hard to use a single volume of this work; the entire set is usually needed as the indexing often covers multiple volumes.  In general, I do not recommend a great deal of trouble be taken to locate or purchase this work.  Pursue the records captured on microfilm now appearing (but not necessarily indexed) on FamilySearch.org and Ancestry.com.

Some 1985 issues of the Rhode Island Genealogical Register. Many volumes are bound into blue covers, a familiar site in repositories.

The Providence Society Blue Book

Full name: The Providence Society Blue Book including Suburbs in Rhode Island together with Fall River and the Attleboros, Mass.  Few copies of this social register, apparently published (according to Worldcat.org) from 1905-1936, appear online and it is unclear how many issues are held at local repositories in Rhode Island; more info will appear here in the future if I find them. The 1905  issue is available. Individuals are listed with their address, spouses, grown children, and club memberships; wives’ maiden names are listed. Interesting features include social and heritage Club information with membership lists, ads for services such as dressmaking, millinery, jewelry, and furs, as well as private schools and lessons, medical offices, and the following mental health service.

Also The Narragansett Blue Book (1900), The Social Register, Newport and the Newport Social Index (and see 1909) provide guides to the summer residents in these resorts, which were very fashionable at the turn of the 20th century.

Small State Big History

Small State, Big History: The Online Review of Rhode Island History features articles on interesting topics in Rhode Island history, plus book reviews and announcements, reprints of older writings, and insights into Rhode Island’s military history, historic sites and artifacts.

The Boston Transcript: Genealogical Column

The Boston Transcript was a Boston, Massachusetts newspaper that regularly carried a page of genealogical questions and answers.  That feature ran a couple of times per week for several decades in the late 1800’s/early 1900’s. It is gradually becoming easier to locate these papers online.

In its day, it was a bit like the online query forums we see today; people sent in a question, and others wrote in to respond publicly, and if private responses were made, those are now lost to time. Some of the leading genealogists of the day would offer advice and guidance on difficult family questions; often, a specific answer pulled from records would be given.  These columns are indexed in the American Genealogical Biographical Index (AGBI) produced by the Godfrey Memorial Library, Middletown, Connecticut.  Today, one sees these index entries turn up in Ancestry.com search results; using them, one should seek out the newspaper columns; this link offers information about current online access.

The Genealogical section of the Boston Transcript usually takes up one page, or less.

The Newport Mercury: Historical and Genealogical Notes and Queries

This feature ran in the weekly newspaper The Newport Mercury from January, 1899 through sometime in 1922.  It printed reader queries, responses submitted, and also transcripts of items of historical interest, often pulled from old manuscripts. It was similar to the Boston Transcript service, above. For the years it ran, most issues can be found on the subscription website Newspapers.com; see this link.  I was able to search using my basic paid subscription; access does not require the upgraded subscription type.

One tip: when looking at search results, remember that most Notes & Queries columns appear on page 8 (the last page of the paper).  An entry on page 8 could easily be from the genealogy column; an entry found on page 1 – 7 is likely to refer to persons and events contemporary with the time the newspaper issue was published.

Rhode Island Historical Tracts

Not a periodical, but a series of books or pamphlets published in the late 1800’s by Sidney S. Rider, a prolific Providence bookseller, author, and passionate collector of Rhode Island ephemera.  Rhode Island Historical Tracts. Series 1, 1 – 20, Series 2, 1 – 5 cover mostly quirky historical topics, but there is an index to series 1, found in volume 20. All volumes are online.

Mr. Rider did publish a periodical, called Book Notes: For the Week, Historical, Literary, and Critical, conducted by Sidney S. Rider.  Covering the literary and historical topics of the day, as they were discussed in Rhode Island, the best a genealogist could hope for in that work is perhaps reference to some obscure writings or manuscripts about a certain village or event in Rhode Island. Personally I have never found much info useful to my genealogy, but from an era featuring several opinionated/eccentric self-styled historians, the impassioned writings of Sidney Rider and James Arnold can be fun to read. Some compiled volumes of Book Notes have been digitized and are available online.

Newport Historical Magazine (later The Rhode Island Historical Magazine)

This publication, founded by R.H. Tilley (who also worked on the Newport Mercury column mentioned above) and H. E. Turner, ran from 1880-1887.  Like other genealogy magazines of its day, it focused on transcriptions of local vital, church, probate and cemetery records, historical narratives, brief family genealogies, queries and longer reprinted pieces.  I have found seven volumes online:

1. The Newport Historical Magazine vol. 1
2. The Newport Historical Magazine vol. 2
3. The Newport Historical Magazine combined vol. 3-4
4. Rhode Island Historical Magazine vol. 5
5. Rhode Island Historical Magazine vol. 6
6. Rhode Island Historical Magazine vol. 7

Several journals previously published by the Rhode Island Historical Society

Prior to the start of Rhode Island History in 1942 (see above), at various points in its nearly 200-year history the Rhode Island Historical Society offered several periodicals.  The following publications contain materials central to the understanding of the Rhode Island history that impacted our ancestors. Frequently, long papers or transcribed manuscripts appeared in these volumes.

• Proceedings of the Rhode Island Historical Society
• Publications of the Rhode Island Historical Society : new series
• Collections of the Rhode Island Historical Society

Similarly, a journal published by another organization, The Publications of the Narragansett Club, featured long transcriptions of key documents in Rhode Island’s history.

These should not be thought of as places for searching our ancestor’s names; instead they offer glimpses into the world of the colonial Rhode Islanders, and the issues that shaped their lives, for instance, first settlements, King Philip’s War, the Seven Mile Line, historical and military relics, or the writings of Roger Williams.

Providence Magazine

Providence Magazine, April, 1916, p. 258. This is an ad for Victor Cleansing Co., owned by the family of my friend Midge Frazel. It’s a good example of the glimpses of larger local businesses that you can get in this magazine.

Report of Genealogical Records Committee of Rhode Island N.S.D.A.R.

Local members of Daughters of the American Revolution have diligently transcribed various Rhode Island records such as cemeteries and records held at town halls.  This series of reports is housed at the Rhode Island Historical Society, among other places, but some issues (1933-1954) can be accessed in an affiliate library through FamilySearch.org, which filmed the series long ago. While in many cases the records captured are now available elsewhere (for instance, it’s possible that the cemetery records were included in the work of the Rhode Island Historical Cemetery Commission), there are likely some unusual records in this set that are not available elsewhere.  Apparently the records are held in some format at the NEHGS library in Boston as well as, I’m sure, the DAR.

The Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations

A series of pamphlets and booklets published by this organization offer some helpful content for pre-Revolutionary War military affairs impacting Rhode Island.  A full list of publications is available from the organization, as well as a briefer list offering web links.  Very likely, most or all paper copies could be found at the Rhode Island Historical Society, as well as some additional manuscript materials.

One of the many booklets published by the Society of Colonial Wars of the State of Rhode Island.

National genealogical journals

There is Rhode Island content to be found in other genealogical journals around the country, either in the national journals or from the places Rhode Islanders traipsed off to – the rest of New England and also New York, Ohio, and Michigan, to name a few.  The Mayflower Descendant also includes content on Rhode Island families.  Many genealogists like to subscribe to the National Genealogical Society Quarterly (NGSQ), or The American Genealogist (TAG) both for the content and for the lessons contained in each article about research, analysis, and documentation. Many of those with Rhode Island ancestors also belong to the New England Historic Genealogical Society in Boston.

Members of these societies can usually get online access to back issues of the journal.  Beyond that, here are two useful aids for gathering content:

• The New England Historic Genealogical Society offers online access with indexing to older volumes of a growing range of journals. Some are available publicly (although you must establish a login); more are available to NEHGS members. Use their Search feature at AmericanAncestors.org and specify the category “Journals and Periodicals.” This helpful video reviews the use of journals and the online search process. There are about 30 journals currently available there.
• The Plymouth Colony Pages website by Dale Cook offers compiled Table of Contents guides for about a dozen journals. Containing titles and authors for articles over a period of many years, these guides could allow for quick hunting of an article on a family name or a specific location, assuming these were mentioned in the title.  The articles themselves would have to be pursued elsewhere.

If you have additional suggestions and links, leave them as a comment.  Happy reading!

Periodicals of Interest to Rhode Island Genealogists

I am so excited to announce the publication of a book by Maureen Taylor and me in the National Genealogical Society’s “Research in the States” series.  Research in Rhode Island was published recently by NGS and is available for sale in both pdf and paper versions on their website; see this page on the NGS bookstore; scroll to the second page of the Research in the States volumes for Rhode Island.

Maureen is the author of an article in the NGS Quarterly from 2000, now completely updated by the two of us for this volume.  Along the way we visited some important Rhode Island repositories, and got special tours and a lot of insight into the preservation of Rhode Island’s past.

NGS Research in the States, Rhode Island, by Diane MacLean Boumenot and Maureen Alice Taylor.

The book offers a broad discussion of Rhode Island’s founding and how its unique history has shaped the development of the kinds of records that genealogists use – vital records, cemeteries, deeds, court records, newspaper, military, census, and probate.  The availability of published and manuscript record sets is investigated.

That’s me in the picture above; photo by Maureen Taylor.

The book was launched at the May, 2018 National Genealogical Society meeting in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  Maureen Taylor and I (pictured below; photo by Kathryn Doyle) are proud of our new book and hope that it will lead Rhode Island researchers to the resources that they need to uncover those fascinating Rhode Island stories.

Definition of necrology

Thanks to: (Merriam Webster; https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/necrology)

The other day I noted a fascinating obituary in the 1889 Proceedings of the Rhode Island Historical Society (while looking for something else).  Being an obituary of a historical society member, it focused on the historical and genealogical work that the person had accomplished in his or her lifetime, and on genealogical details of the family.  It gave me some clues about resources that might help me, mentioning other organizational affiliations, books written by the person and even other obituaries published.

These obits may also be useful for other Rhode island researchers, so I am presenting a list of the individuals (see list at the bottom of this post) whose obituaries were included in this publication.  Even if your ancestors aren’t in here, perhaps others from the town of your ancestors might have left some genealogical works behind. Most members got an obituary; if the member was very famous or not (ever) a Rhode Islander, I left them off this list.  These are definitely some wealthy businessmen, but also some teachers, professors, genealogists and antiquarians. Membership was originally not open to women, but eventually it was, and the first female obituary is from the 1890’s. The first Irish member’s death was noted in that period, too; the membership was not a diverse group. The obituaries are sometimes perfunctory but, more often, are revealing, personal, and charming.

Apparently the Proceedings of the Rhode Island Historical Society was published from 1872-1914, although necrologies may have been published elsewhere at other times.  The volumes have been digitized a few times; the list below is from Hathitrust.org and Archive.org and can be used for locating the particular obituary that you find in the list at the bottom of this post.
