Boston, Massachusetts, Birth Index, 1700-1800

This collection of births was originally part of the 24th Report of the Record Commission and contains over 15,000 birth records. Each record has the child's name, names of parents, and date of birth. As it is a report to a records commission, the collection is largely complete up to about 1745. However, after that date the number of recorded births in the report gradually diminishes through the rest of the century.
