Archive:The Descendants of John Whitney, Transcription Project
In 1895, Frederick Clifton Pierce published The Descendants of John Whitney, who came from London, England, to Watertown, Massachusetts, in 1635. In order to better assist Whitney researchers, members of the Whitney Research Group (WRG) have decided to undertake the task of transcribing this work and making it readily available to all researchers.
The book has been broken up into 133 sections, each containing 5 pages. Some of the sections have been adjusted to have a couple more or a couple less pages to accomodate the requests of volunteers.
The book is being transcribed verbatim, including any misspellings and known genealogical errors. Once complete, the Whitney Research Group will be adding links or notes to areas with proven genealogical errors. In this transcription, all surnames are being capitalized, even though they weren't in the original. Also, any surname which is hyphenated and thus broken between two lines is being rejoined to aid in searches. Other than these items, each line is being left as it is in the original. Because the original used proportional fonts, this can make the right margin of the transcription uneven. We feel that with the exception of the couple of items listed above, that we should attempt a transcription as close to the original as possible.
If you notice a transcription error, please being it to my attention. Send an e-mail to tim@greenscourt.com and I will make the correction.

In the course of this project, many of the pages are being scanned and sent to volunteer transcribers. Available scans can be viewed here.
