We have added volumes 177 (2023), 178 (2024), 179 (2025) to our New England Historical and Genealogical Register database. This update contains adds 1,374 pages, 24,348 records, and 24,348 searchable names.
Published quarterly since 1847, the New England Historical and Genealogical Register is the flagship journal of American genealogy and the oldest journal in the field. The Register has featured articles on a wide variety of topics since its inception, including vital records, church records, tax records, land and probate records, cemetery transcriptions, obituaries, and historical essays. Authoritative compiled genealogies have been the centerpiece of the Register for more than 150 years. Thousands of New England families have been treated in the pages of the journal and many more are referenced in incidental ways throughout. These articles may range from short pieces correcting errors in print or solving unusual problems to larger treatments that reveal family origins or present multiple generations of a family.
The indexing for these records includes full names, publication year (not the year of the record), and article titles, and authors.
The entire run of New England Historical and Genealogical Register is available in our research library, call number F1.N56.
