2026 RI Roots Gleanings
The 2026 issue of Rhode Island Roots - Gleanings from R.I. Town Records will contain records from Little Compton, Rhode Island. RIGS apologizes that Glocester was listed as the upcoming Gleanings subject in the December Rhode Island Roots. Please pay RIGS 2026 dues by February 1 to be on the mailing list for this exciting issue.
Mallet & Chisel Again Available In the Online Store
Once again, RIGS has new copies of Mallet & Chisel, the classic work on New England grave carving by Vincent Luti. A limited number of books have been printed with improved photos and paper, otherwise identical to the 2002 publication.
