"These records have been abstracted from the actual handwritten records of the First Reformed Church."
"This is a series of volumes covering the period 1730-1980...This volume is not all inclusive, as to do so would require 10-12 volumes alone and would be repetitive. It is a volume with a select number of years, spread over the 250 years of the Church."
