Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.

Whether you're a practiced hand at genealogy or searching for information on previous generations of family members, <i>A Genealogical Register of the First Settlers of New England</i> is an unmatched resource providing details necessary to piece together the history of America's first frontier.

The register is written by John Farmer who dedicated his life to the accumulation of this data that he considered to be of utmost importance.

He truly believed that to know one's past was to know oneself and offered this book up as an opportunity for all of America to become familiar with their colonial roots.<br><br>Literally an encyclopedia of 'first families', this register contains tens of thousands of entries with names, dates of settling, marriage dates, children and dates of birth, and dates of death.

Any significant information Farmer uncovered on a specific individual is also listed and the lengths of entries differ greatly as a result (i.e.

Containing an astounding amount of information, this book is a must-use reference for anyone researching the history of a particular line back to New England.

Perfect for colonial scholars, amateur and professional genealogists, and any curious reader who would like to see a glimpse of the
