The Real Life of New England Vital Records

Understanding when, where and why vital records were created, and the changes in those practices over the years, can help us find them today. Learn how to use copies, abstracts, indexes and “substitutes” on the path to the best record. Improve your family history research today by maximizing your ability to locate the records that tie generations together.

Tips for Navigating Rhode Island Records

Many Americans have roots in Rhode Island, and there are some unique sources available to trace Rhode Island’s colonial families. The post-Revolutionary War period was a time of industrialization and enormous change. The immigrants to Rhode Island in the later 1800’s left completely different clues. Let’s review the best tips for breaking through to your ancestor’s Rhode Island story.

Rhode Island State Census for Genealogists

The colony and state of Rhode Island collected data on residents, statewide, ten times between 1774 and 1935. Each collection included distinct and sometimes unusual questions. Learn how to access the returns today and get tips on evaluating the data and its meaning for family relationships

Changing New England Records in the 1800’s

Just as some New Englanders left their declining farms and headed west, industrialization arrived in New England and our ancestors’ lives and records changed forever. The days when deeds and probate would solve genealogical problems gave way to a dizzying array of new census collections, state mandated vital records, poorhouse, prison and asylum records, sturdier cemetery markers, and military pensions. Let’s re-teach ourselves as we trace 1800’s ancestors.
