This book contains extensive biographical and genealogical information about every family who settled in Maine and New Hampshire prior to 1699. Births, mar­riages, and deaths are listed through the third and some­times fourth generation. Sketches also include data on places of origin, residences, wills and deeds, court cases, and careers. Originally published in five parts between the years 1928 and 1939, this indispensable resource will save you time and provide you with a greater understand­ing of the area.

In this 1841 publication, Young has gathered a number of lengthy documents covering the history of the Pilgrim Church in Scrooby and Leiden, the transfer of part of that congregation to New England in the 1620s, and the early history of the new plantation at Plymouth. Narratives were composed by William Bradford, Edward Winslow, and Robert Cushman, all of whom were participants in the events portrayed.

A comprehensive guide to tracing families in the City and County of Galway. Galway is home to a diverse population whose culture and history has been shaped by the barren landscapes of its Western seaboard, or the rich farmlands at its Eastern end. In the centre is the historic city of Galway, an ancient trading port and home to the 14 ‘Tribes’ whose story is central to that of the county. Many have emigrated, particularly in the aftermath of the Great Famine. The population dwindled from 441,810 in 1841 to 214,712 in 1891.
