We are happy to announce that we’ve added Volumes 43-45 (2017-2019) to our database Rhode Island Roots. This update adds 772 pages, 7,046 records, and 6,869 names.
The Rhode Island Genealogical Society publishes Rhode Island Roots quarterly. It features many Rhode Island records, such as cemetery and tax lists, General Assembly petitions, civil and military records, and genealogical articles — all focusing on Rhode Island families. Other features include articles about Rhode Islanders in other state census records, queries and a list of RI research volunteers. The authors include well-known genealogists as well as RIGS members with stories of their own families to tell.
The indexing for these records includes full names, publication year (not the year of the record), and article titles and authors.
This update is made possible by the efforts of our volunteers David Anderson and Sam Sturgis.
The entire run of Rhode Island Roots is available at the NEHGS Boston research library, call number F78 .R2.
