The town of Barnstable on Cape Cod is one of the earliest settlements in Massachusetts and home to many Mayflower families and their descendants. Gustavus Adolphus Hinckley (1822-1905) transcribed early vital and town records, as well as the records from the Barnstable County Probate Court that dealt with residents of the town of Barnstable. Included in this collection are records of the West and East Parish churches and transcriptions from eighteen cemeteries in Barnstable.

Now available on CD-ROM, Records of Barnstable, Massachusetts, is the most extensive compilation of records for any town on Cape Cod. Thanks to the efforts of Robert Dunkle, the remarkable collection of Barnstable records in the Hinckley collection are being made available to the public for the first time.
