Many town histories contain genealogies and biographies of great interest to genealogists and family historians, but the family articles and other genealogical data on a given surname are very difficult to locate short of a volume-by-volume search. The present work is a master guide to the surnames to be found in 128 volumes of Massachusetts town histories. Altogether, this guide contains nearly 56,000 citations to over 14,000 surnames. Each entry consists of a surname followed by a listing of the towns where that surname appears in the town's history. Each town name is associated with a code number to locate the history in the bibliography.
