EXPLANATIONS
1. When places other than Burlington and Massachusetts are named in the original records they are given in the printed copy.
2. In all records the original spelling is followed.
3. The various spellings of a name should be examined, as items about the same family or individucal may be found under different spellings.
4. Marriages are printed under the names of both parties. When a marriage appears without the intention recorded it is designated with an asterisk. There are no intentions of marriages recorded in Billerica.
5. Additional information which does not appear in the original text of an item, i.e., any explanation, query, inference, or differnce shown in other entries of the record, is bracketed. Parentheses are used only when they occur in the original text or to separate clauses found there &emdash; such as the birthplace of parents in late marriage records.
