Synopsis
O'Callaghan's "Documentary History of the State of New-York," a four-volume work published 1849-1851, was strong in genealogical records of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. But this fine work was hard to use for it had no name index. This present work has all of the genealogical records in the O'Callaghan work, but it adds a complete index of names. Prepared by Roseanne Conway, the index lists about 12,000 inhabitants of colonial New York--Dutch, English, and German.
