Click here to check out Westport's great genealogy website. If you are researching Bristol County (which is next door to Plymouth County and Rhode Island) be sure to check Westport if your ancestors were from "Dartmouth." The Dartmouth of today is maybe a quarter of the Dartmouth of the late 17th & 18t century, as New Bedford, Fairhaven, Acushnet, and Westport struck out on their own after the Revolution. Transcriptions of Westport town meeting records have been online for several years but between the town and the Westport Historical Society they now have a mind-boggling array of digitized images of vital records, town meeting records, militia records, tax records, voters, road layouts, naturalization applications and lots more. I don't have many ancestors in Westport but it will still take me days to get through everything the Town of Westport's Historical Records and Oral Histories site has. Thank you, Westport!
