Prior to the  publication of this book, no serious effort was ever made to present the  complete historical record of Martha's Vineyard's Wampanoag families, who were  the original settlers of the Island. This work is the first to explore the rich  heritage of these native Vineyarders. By presenting the history of the  Wampanoags within the context of family genealogies, the authors show that the  Vineyard Wampanoags have a rich and documented heritage. Sources used include  land records and deeds; mortgages; leases and wills; and court, vital, military,  maritime, religious, and census records. The main portion of this book is a  compendium listing every Indian with Island connections whose name was found in  the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in these various records.
