We are happy to announce that volumes 46 and 47 (2020-2021) have been added to Rhode Island Roots. This update adds 4,389 names, 4,517 records, and 518 pages to the database.
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.
The entire run of Rhode Island Roots is available at the NEHGS Boston research library, call number F78 .R2.
We want to thank our volunteer, Sam Sturgis, for all of his work on this database! If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please reach out to our Database Volunteer Coordinator, Zobeida, at zobeida.chaffee-valdes@americanancestors.org.
