This work contains all of the articles on Rhode Island families that had been published in "The New England Historical and Genealogical Register" since 1846. Except for articles relating to the immigrant origins of Rhode Island families, which have appeared elsewhere, this has many of the best genealogical articles of the last 140 years, many by leading genealogists of the 19th and 20th centuries. A lengthy Introduction by Gary B. Roberts, Director of Publications at the New England Historic Genealogical Society, gives a picture of the current state of Rhode Island genealogy and has an updating of his Bibliography of 100 Colonial Rhode Island Families.

"Mrs. Larkin continued the research after her husband's death in 1979, and had just finished the text at the time of her own unexpected death in April 2003. The book was brought to completion by Jane Fiske with the help of Bruce D. Larkin, John W. Fiske, and others. The genealogy begins with Edward Larkin of Newport and Westerly, Rhode Island , whose origins in England are presently unknown; he was a contemporary of Edward Larkin of Charlestown , Massachusetts, but no link between the two has yet been found. Six generations of Larkins are treated here, and seventh-generation children are listed when known"-- www.genbooks.com/Larkin.htm
