Danvers, Essex County, Massachusetts Births to 1850

The Vital Records of Danvers, Massachusetts (Volume 1, Births), published by the Essex Institute in 1909, is a comprehensive accounting of births in Danvers, Massachusetts up to the end of the year 1849. The data is found in several places: books of record kept by the town clerks; church records; cemetery inscriptions; and many private records found in family Bibles. In all records, the original spelling of the names is followed, and in the alphabetical arrangement, the various forms should be examined, since items about the same family may be found under different spellings. This database of more than 40,000 names can provide researchers with needed information on family movement over the years, since birth location is also frequently given.
