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.
American engraver and historian John Warner Barber (1798-1885) was well known for his books on local, state, and national history. This work, first published in 1857, opens with an outline history of Connecticut and includes several interesting lists (New Haven planters in 1643 and all 127 persons holding land in Hartford in 1639, for example), as well as statistical tables from the 1840 and 1850 census. The content is then arranged by county in the order in which they were created: Hartford; New Haven; New London; Fairfield; Windham; Litchfield; Middlesex; and, finally, Tolland.
If you're ready to turn your family history research into a publication, this Portable Genealogist will help you assemble the basic elements of a genealogical "sketch" and go over the elements of the descendancy (Register style) and ancestor table (ahnentafel) formats.
The four-page laminated guide can fit easily in your research binder.

A lineage or hereditary society is a member-based group that is organized around a common ancestor or ancestors of historical importance. For example, the General Society of Mayflower Descendants is comprised of members who can trace their lineage to one of the original passengers from the Mayflower. These societies aim to preserve the memory of their common ancestry, participate in historic conservation and education, and may provide original scholarship or a specialized facility to aid family historians.
The years 1634 and 1635 were watershed years for New England immigration. The influx of immigrants represents twenty percent or more of the entire Great Migration period. Like The Great Migation Begins, these books continue to identify and document early New England families.
