Already a classic, The Great Migration Begins reflects immense scholarly resourcefulness and is a tremendous source for anyone researching early New England families. 

Under the leadership of Robert Charles Anderson, the Great Migration Study Project aims to compile authoritative genealogical and biographical accounts of every person who settled in New England between 1620 and 1640. The Great Migration Newsletter has been a cornerstone publication within this project for the last twenty years and offers researchers essential articles on migration patterns, early records, life in seventeenth-century New England, and more. 

This first volume in the third series of the Great Migration Study Project contains new research to uncover the details of 129 immigrants with surnames beginning with A to Be who came to New England between 1636 and 1638 and appear in the Great Migration Directory. 

Eighty-nine immigrants have been added to this 2nd edition of the most important genealogical and historical source ever published for New England. The product of three decades of painstaking research by world-renowned expert Robert Charles Anderson, The Great Migration Directory is a complete survey of all individuals known to have come to New England during the Great Migration period from 1620 to 1640. 

Ancestral Lines of Iain W. F. Shepherd and Helen Waugh (Gray) Shepherd – Journeys in Time is a combination of outstanding research and beautiful presentation. The book explores the lives of multiple generations of the Barnewall, Hales, Shepherd, Beaumont, Waugh, and Gray families of Scotland, Ireland, and England. Their backgrounds are varied, from members of the military to farmers to musicians.

This extensive volume covers the direct ancestral lines of Thomas’s and Delinda’s grandparents. The four paternal families left England for New England and New York. Meanwhile, the four maternal families eventually lived in nearly every southeastern state. The marriage between the north and south makes for a genuinely all-American story.
