These important records are a familiar tool for genealogists searching into early New England roots, and now they are available in convenient and inexpensive microfiche format. These are court records, but the concerns of the court were widespread, including not only such mundane matters as land transactions and apprenticeships, but more interesting details such as marriage bonds, probate, and even such important criminal matters as cases of trespassing cattle! All kinds of events are recorded here, shedding light on the character of our ancestors, from those being admitted as freemen to those being fined for selling wine or even more serious offenses. A complete index makes this a handy reference work, essential for all New England researchers.
