[email protected] Revised January 27, 2021 A few words about the format of this file are in order. Rhode Island Roots is the journal of the Rhode Island Society of Genealogists. Although it began quite modestly it has always featured contributions from the most notable Rhode Island genealogical scholars. From with Volume 3 to date it has been published quarterly. The entries are listed by volume. Each volume is preceded by the volume number and year in boldface. Articles that are carried across more than one volume have their parts listed under the applicable volumes. This entry, from Volume 8, will illustrate the format used: 8 (1982):3-8, 27-38, 55-66, 79-92 (Cont. from 7:51, cont. to 9:11) The Rhode Island 1777 Military Census Mildred Mosher Chamberlain The first line of an entry for an individual article or portion of a series shows the pages for an article found in that volume. When a series spans more than one volume a note in parentheses indicates the volume and page from which or to which it is continued. In the first five volumes the page numbering begins anew with each issue, so, for example, the third page of the second issue of volume 5 is designated 5:2:3. The second line shows the title of the article, and the third line lists the author. I have listed only articles with genealogical or historical content of interest to the genealogical researcher. I have not included articles and series such as book reviews, queries, or "Who Was She?," although replies may be included. A number of short articles, often used as filler, are collected under the title "Notes" for each volume. Bible and family records in each volume are collected under the title "Bible and Family Records," although a few sets of records are long enough to be listed as individual articles. This file is a work in progress, and I am continuing to add volumes. Then as each completed volume is released to the NEHGS web site a revision will be posted. Please address any corrections to the compiler at the email address given above.
