This collection
of births was originally part of the 24th Report of the Record Commision and contains over
15,000 birth records. Each record has the child's name, names of parents, and date of
birth. As it is a report to a records commission, the collection is largely complete up to
about 1745. However, after that date the number of recorded births in the report gradually
diminishes through the rest of the century

| Believed to contain all the birth, marriage, and death
records of the first seventy years of Boston, this work was intended to be comprehensive.
As a result this database contains over thirty thousand vital records as reported to the
Records Commision between 1630 and 1699. In addition to these vital records, baptisms in
the Boston First Church for the same time period are included. The database is organized
by year and category (i.e. birth, marriage, and death, respectively) and nearly every
entry includes parents (in births) and spouses (in marriage and deaths) along with the
date of the event. |
