Winthrop Sources....LOOK BEYOND ROOTSWEB!

I have been looking through the postings on the Winthrop family, and I have noticed a heavy reliance on the integrity of Rootsweb postings. The Winthrops are a well documented family, and a portion of the material on Rootsweb contains mistakes of one form or another. I would encourage all of you to access Library Indexing computers and dive further into sources like the New England Genealogical and Biographical Record, the records of the Massachussets Historical Society, and books such as Suffolk Manorial Families by James Muskett; Evidences of the Winthrops of Groton, co. Suffolk, England, available through Higginson Books, and the rare yet accessible, The Lion and the Hare, by Ellery Kirke Taylor. If anyone needs help with these or other sources, let me know!!
