We have completed a major update to The Great Migration: Immigrants to New England 1634-1635. All vital records have been indexed for volumes 1-7 and are now searchable. This update allows users to search for immigrants by name, location, and date. Searches for spouses and parents are also now possible in the relationship field. There are now 60,911 records, 94,971 names, and 4,550 pages within these databases.
We have also completed indexing the first volume of Great Migration: Immigrants to New England, 1636-1638, Volume I, A-Be. This volume also includes vital records and adds 9,307 records, 13231 names, and 721 pages to the collection.
The Great Migration Study Project is a comprehensive genealogical and biographical accounts of the twenty thousand English men, women, and children who settled in New England between 1620 and 1640. The project’s published works, containing thousands of sketches, are necessary resources for any genealogist, historian, or descendant with early New England interests and connections. The Great Migration Study Project was directed by Robert Charles Anderson, FASG, from 1988 to 2025.
We want to thank our volunteer, Sam Sturgis, for publishing this project!
