EXPLANATIONS
The town of Malden has an extremely long explanation. Please read the Preface before going on. It will help you understand more.
NOTE: The majority of entries in the printed books have a number to the left of the entry. This corresponds to the pages listed in the Table of Contents below. They are omitted from the online version.
The Malden VRs were published in 4 sections, Births, Intentions, Marriages and Deaths. In the online records, the intentions have been merged with the marriages. In all cases, the int. before the date of the intention is a link to the page image on which that intention appears.
