William T. Davis
Volume totaling

pages. Book is in new  condition. Per the publisher;
Originally published as Part Two of Ancient Landmarks of Plymouth,  Davis's "Genealogical Register of Plymouth Families" has established itself as  one of a handful of standard genealogical dictionaries of New England and is  quite possibly the most comprehensive register of Plymouth families ever  assembled. Containing the names of thousands of individuals with Mayflower and  sistership origins, there is little wonder why this work should claim the  attention of persons of suspected Pilgrim descent. It contains a great quantity  of material written in a style reminiscent of the older genealogical  dictionaries, with families, in narrative form, worked through several  generations, showing marriages, dates, children and children's marriages and  offspring.
The method of arrangement consists of listing together everyone of the  same surname and grouping them thereunder in alphabetical order, with their  marriages, children, and children's children following. As each line is  exhausted the text resumes with the person next in the alphabet. The genealogies  are quite intricate and name many thousands of persons, though just how many is  difficult to estimate. The data is based largely on the records of the town of  Plymouth, Massachusetts and draws on all marriage and birth records through the  last quarter of the nineteenth century.
