Known as South Brimfield when incorporated as a district in 1762 and made a town in 1775, the name changed 20 February 1828 to Wales. This microfiche collection comprises eight data volumes and four index volumes from the town records and Gardner's genealogies of town residents.

 

South Brimfield Births 1762-1812, Deaths 1762-1820, Marriages 1804-1830.

Births of 1751-1821, mostly arranged by family, are listed in a random, alphabetical arrangement--with scattered, multiple pages for most letters. Deaths of about the same period appear separately. Marriages and intentions range from 1766-1839, though the intentions before 1804 appear to be more complete than the marriages of that same period. Worn and missing pages; e.g., 1-4 and 102-107, characterize this old volume.
