Founded upon a variety of original source records, this volume treats a fair cross-section of the 17th- and 18th-century population of Long Island. You may find your missing ancestor among one of the seventy genealogies found in this volume.

Based on original manuscripts on file at the Hall of Records in Annapolis, Maryland, this work consists of an alphabetical list of nearly 14,000 names (male and female) with dates of marriage licenses. Information throughout is uniform, being restricted generally to names and dates, but where supplementary information appears in the records, such as the name of a minister or place of residence or occupation, the information is so given in the Index. Perhaps the most important early finding tool for the county.
