Sue Allan’s tenacious pursuit of origins of the Mayflower passengers in England led us from Dorothy May Bradford’s family, to William White’s family in Wisbech, which in turn led to her assembling all the pieces necessary to solve the mystery of the origin of Mayflower passenger Susanna (Jackson) White Winslow – something researchers have been trying to puzzle out for many decades without success.

The years 1634 and 1635 were watershed years for New England immigration, representing as much as 20% of the total for the period 1620–1640. This now-complete seven-volume set provides profiles of more than 1,400 early New England immigrants. Each volume includes a discussion on the methods and sources used, more than 200 genealogical sketches, and comprehensive every-name and place indexes. 1999–2011

The revered name of William Brewster takes center stage in the story of the Mayflower Pilgrims. Many Americans proudly trace their descent from this great man and yet very few know the name of his clergyman brother James, the Brewster who stayed behind in England.

In this compelling biography of William White, a foundational ancestor to so many across America, Sue Allan reveals who William’s father was and identifies the school William attended as a boy. She also proves that the school was once Wisbech's ancient Holy Trinity Guild Hall. In her signature style, she takes us deep into the history of Ely and the wild landscape of the Fenlands to the heart of William White's life as a young orphan in the streets of Wisbech.

In this new work, Sue Allan presents significant research that disputes Samuel Webber’s early study of the origins of the Southworth line in America. The claim that Constant and Thomas, sons of Edward and Alice Carpenter Southworth, descend from the Samlesbury Southworths can no longer be upheld. The evidence she presents is compelling and sheds light on many of the Bradford, Southworth and other connections.
