Obituary Index - Plymouth County Families of the Twentieth Century
In 2014, an obituary database and the associated newspaper clippings were donated to Plymouth County Genealogists, Inc. by member, Joan S. Leland. From 1984 through 2002, during her tenure as a librarian for the East Bridgewater Public Library and continuing into her retirement, Joan collected obituaries of persons who had some connection to East Bridgewater, Massachusetts (i.e., born, married, buried) and entered the information into a database, which she entitled Plymouth County Families of the Twentieth Century. The clippings were taken primarily from the Brockton Enterprise newspaper, but some are from the smaller local papers Bridgewater Townsman, East Bridgewater Citizen, and East Bridgewater Express. Joan also recorded all related names that appeared in the obituaries, so her database of just over 2,000 obituaries contains nearly 27,000 names. The database includes names not only of those from East Bridgewater and the surrounding towns, but also many from states well beyond that of Massachusetts.
