Hi, I am not a relative.The Rhode Island and Mass. records I found here:
https://www.familysearch.org/s/collection/list#page=1®ion=NORTH_AMERICA
The rest I found on Ancestry.com.
In researching my own french-canadian family and helping others, I've found that parents baptized their children right away, either the day they were born or no more than 2 days after birth.So, the baptismal records are very accurate in terms of a birth date.Burial records were recorded in parish records in a timely matter as well.As far as CIVIL records are concerned, that is definitely another story.There can be a large time lag between the event and the recording.I've actually seen birth certificates filled out for grown children.
Hope this helps.If I find anymore I will let you know. Bye!
Mrs. Annie Carlile
