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. 

Our military expert will show you how to use the 1890 Veterans Schedules and the 1910 and 1930 U.S. Censuses to determine on which side your ancestor fought. Then examine records for the U.S. Army, Confederate Army, and U.S. Navy and Marine Corps by using the Compiled Military Service Records (CMSRs) and the National Park Service’s Soldiers and Sailors Database.

This new book covers fifty early "North of Boston" families (Dole, Littlefield, Noyes, etc.) and about seventy-five English families in the ancestry of Percival Lowell, prolific immigrant forebear of Judge John Lowell and many other New Englanders.

Vibrant threads of ambition and persistence run through the five Finn generations detailed in this truly American story. This volume traces the line of descent from Peter Finn (ca. 1800–ca. 1847), a tenant farmer in County Longford, Ireland, through three generations, to the eleven children of William Joseph and Katherine Irene (Mullen) Finn of Canton, Massachusetts. William (1881–1942) was a Canton textile mill owner whose grandfather, James Finn (1825–1871), left Ireland for Massachusetts, alone, in 1841 as a teenage pauper.
