  Note: Transcriptions and scanning by: The Massachusetts Vital Records Project Commonly called the "Tan Book" series, they contain the majority of the records from earliest times to about 1850. The project was founded about the year 2000 by John Slaughter. The project is funded entirely by John and the occasional donation from users of the project. At present, January, 2010, John is the only person working on the project.
  
  

  Richard J. Lundstrom I live in Oxford, Nicholas Rich line representative/Rich family Association. RICH related research for Oxford/Sutton. Heavily intermarried into Davis family (who didn't?), Moores, Learned, Barton, etc. I have the RFA line's data, and can pop into the library (5 minutes away) for Vitals, family genealogies, etc. I have hunted through local cemeteries for related families.
