http://140.186.109.142/bgr/BGR2-p/index.htm), Reference 1439 (28 Aug 1693). "The Eliza Starbuck Barney Genealogical Record, the most reliable genealogy for Nantucket’s families for the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries, contains vital information on more than 40, 000 Nantucketers. This nineteenth-century manuscript comprising more than one thousand pages has been entered into a searchable computer database and is now presented here online.

Facts about the data from Elisa S. Barney's Data
An attempt has been made to enter the data as found in the original document, including abbreviations. All data facts are copied verbatim from E.S.B.'s record. The goal has been to reproduce exactly the information E.S.B. presented in her record. There is no other source for the data contained herein.

Dates: E.S.B. used dates DD/MM/YYYY, mm/yyyy, year only or no dates given. Also she never left any information on Quaker date usage. In 1753 Quakers began using the Julian calendar; however, E.S.B. leaves no information on how she treats dates (Quaker and Julian) prior to 1753. Historical researchers see copy of unidentified manuscript page in NHA Blue File (Quaker Dates Statement, Addendum 1.).

Names: Spelling of names is sometimes inconsistent, i.e. Fish/Fisher, Green/Greene, Nerboth/Narbeth, Nichol/Nicholls, Pearson/Pierson, Roland/Rowland.

Abbreviations Used:


b. -- born

Bal. -- probably Baltimore

d. -- died or daughter

L.I. -- probably Long Island

m. -- married

M.V. -- probably Martha's Vineyard

N.B. -- probably New Bedford

wid. -- widow

W.I. -- probably West Indies

N.Y. -- New York, no reference as to whether it is the City or the State (In these instances the data entry person made their best interpretation.).".
