It's Treasure Chest Thursday - a chance to look in my digital image files to see what treasures I can find for my family history and genealogy musings.
The treasure today is the birth records of the children of Norman and Sarah (Read) Sever in0 the Westminster, Massachusetts town record book:

The children of Norman and Sarah (Read) Seaver are listed in the family at the top of the left-hand page of the image:

The source citation for this record is:
Westminster, Massachusetts Town Records, imaged, "Massachusetts, U.S., Town and Vital Records, 1620-1988,"Ancestry.com (https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/2495/images/40143_270902__0007-00065), Westminster > Births, Marriages and Death > page 38 (penned, Image 116 of 1,195), Family of Norman and Sarah Sever.
This is a Derivative Source record for the births of four of Norman and Sarah (Read) Seaver's children in Westminster, Massachusetts. Nine other children were born in Sudbury and Sheewsbury before the family moved to Westminster. This record is a transcription of an earlier Westminster town record that was more or less in chronological order, and this record placed children into famlies. The original record is not currently available. It is Primary Information and Direct Evidence of the names of the parents, the names of the children, the birth dates and place.
Norman and Sarah (Read) Seaver are my 5th great-grandparents, who married in 1755 and had 13 children. I am descended from their oldest son, Benjamin Seaver (1757-1816) who married Martha Whitney in 1783.
