This is one of the richest compendia of family histories in all of New England genealogy. Compiled by William R. Cutter, the former corresponding secretary and historian of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, this four-volume work boasts detailed genealogical and biographical essays on nearly 1,000 venerable New England families. Out of print and hard to locate for many years since its original publication in 1913, "New England Families, Genealogical and Memorial" is now available from Clearfield Company in an affordable paper edition.
