1 I adopt this plan of a Genealogical Reg- dau., for daughter, etc. The names of ister, because it is less complicated than towns are also sometimes abbreviated, as Bos., for Boston; Camb., for Cambridge; Chs., for Charlestown; Lex., for Lexing- ton; Medf., for Medford; Menot., for Me- notomy ; Som., for Somerville; Wat., for Watertown; and if there be any other, the reference will be easily perceived. others, yet sufficiently particular for all practical purposes. The system is too plain and obvious to require any explanation. The ordinary abbreviations are used, such as a., for aged; b., for born; bap., for bap- tized; d., for died; m., for married; f., for father; w., for wife or widow; s., for son;
