When the early colonists came to America, they were braving a new world,
with new wonders and difficulties. Family historians beginning the
search for their ancestors from this period run into a similar
adventure, as research in the colonial period presents a number of
exciting challenges that genealogists may not have experienced before.
This book is the key to facing those challenges. This new book,
Researching Your Colonial New England Ancestors, leads genealogists to a
time when their forebears were under the rule of the English crown,
blazing their way in that uncharted territory. Patricia Law Hatcher,
FASG, provides a rich image of the world in which those ancestors lived
and details the records they left behind. With this book in hand, family
historians will be ready to embark on a journey of their own, into the
unexplored lines of their colonial past.
