Publications
TRIBUTARIES was a genealogical-historical journal devoted to the Brooks Families of New England - meticulously researched, designed, written and typeset to high standards of scholarship, content and readability. Issue 1:1, of which 200 copies were printed in December, 1997, was the only issue to date. (A handful of subsequent digital copies were mistakenly numbered 1:2 on the masthead but are otherwise identical to the original.)
Issue 1:1 was subsequently and extensively revised with corrections, cleaner typography, old style numerals for dates, and new and updated research. You can download the latest version below.
UPDATE: The preceding paragraphs were written some years ago. Since then, the development of the internet and the release of Second Site, a web-building program for users of TMG (The Master Genealogist), have made it possible to publish now rather than later. The publication Tributaries has therefore been retired, replaced as a research product by this website and by yDNA testing of Brooks males begun in 2006. If you are a subscriber who has previously plunked down $15 for a subscription to the printed work, please accept my apologies, and enjoy the work I have shared with you. I will be in touch in the coming months to refund your subscription fee.
