Volume  totaling

pages. Book  is in new condition.  Just what you need  for genealogy research. Per the publisher;
This remarkable work contains the genealogical records of      over 950 families of early Hartford, Connecticut. The records are arranged      alphabetically by family name, under which may also be found the names and      records of allied families. The births, marriages, and deaths in successive      generations are marshalled in a tight, skillfully worked progression of      statistics, and additional insights are afforded by the ready accumulation      of biographical and historical detail. Based on the available records for      the period 1645 to 1825, this collection of genealogies goes a considerable      way in making good the deficiencies of the public record.
Families of Early Hartford
is one of a number of      versions on which Mr. Barbour worked. His own family tree included many of      these lines, and his work in the preservation and care of old records and      improved methods of record keeping reinforced his interest in helping other      genealogists. From notes which he originally called “Families of Hartford      and Vicinity,” he worked and re-worked the compilation–mainly from church      records, sextons’ records, and probate records–but his work lay unpublished      until the Connecticut Society of Genealogists exhumed the manuscript, typed      it, and indexed it for publication. We are indeed greatly indebted to them,      for without this book the genealogical continuity of Hartford and vicinity      would be beyond discovery.
