This volume is an effort to assemble in one place the scattered records of the town of Fairhaven, Massachusetts, from microfilm copies of vital records made by the LDS Church and birth, marriage, and death data pertaining to Fairhaven residents at the Commonwealth Archives in Boston. A miscellaneous group of Fairhaven gravestone inscriptions is also included. All told, Smith and Boyer have exhumed the vital records of some 5,000 early residents of Fairhaven, and they are readily accessible in the complete name index at the back of the volume.
