Hello Belle and Candace--
I missed this whole thread until this evening--not that I have more to contribute except the information that when I found vital record info on Thomas & Jane Braman and their descendants in Bristol County, MA, some which was found in the Taunton book also appeared in the Norton book (Mass Vital Records to 1850 were published around the 1920s or so).In some cases the data came from town records, in others from gravestones and Bible records.The towns are adjacent, though not synonymous.Births and marriages might well have been registered with whatever civil authority existed at the time, closest to the location of the event. Whereas in the early 20th century, a Family Bible documenting the same events might be found with a Norton-associated family, so claimed by Norton...does this help make sense of the question?
