The Portable Genealogist: Seventeenth-Century New England Research; by David C. Dearborn; 4 pp., folded; Laminated; 8.5x11; Published: 2014; ISBN: 9780880823159; Item # NE43
As a group, seventeenth-century (1601-1700) New Englanders arguably are the most studied group on the planet, and thus descendants are blessed with a multitude of resources-from compiled genealogies to scholarly study projects to essential finding aids to original and transcribed records.
Prior to 1700, the European population of New England was still sufficiently small and compact enough to be manageable from a genealogical standpoint. In many cases, town vital records, church, colony, probate, land, military, and tax records not only have survived, but have been abstracted and published. This Portable Genealogist will direct you to the most relevant and useful resources for tracing your Seventeenth-Century New England ancestors.
