And for anyone who doesn't want to go through the handwritten pages and put the families together, Father Joseph Viveiros of Swansea, Massachusetts (with the help of George Pacheco and John Raposo) spent a few years assembling the families together in a database.
I believe you can still obtain the database on CD in Gedcom format (so you will need a genealogy program to read this. Any genealogy program. You click on File > Import). I think the CD is $50 or $60. George Pacheco can let us know if you mail the money to him or Fr. Joe and the address.
