These two books are on our “Atlantic Region-974”
shelf. For those with early New England
ancestors, The Winthrop Fleet – Massachusetts Bay Company Immigration to New
England 1629-1630 by Robert Charles Anderson, published 2012 by NEHGS
through their Great Migration Study Project.
Each sketch includes English origin and known evidence of arrival in
1629 along with known biographical data.
Next on the shelf is Charles Edward Banks’ 1930 publication of The
Winthrop Fleet of 1630. Along with
ancestor information are revealing narrative chapters covering background,
travel expenses and the voyage.
Additionally for anyone seeking their ancestors’ 17th
century perspective, a journal written as events happened is The Journal of
John Winthrop 1630-1649, edited in by Richard S. Dunn and Laetitia
Yeandle.
Notice a great book on our shelves? Please do share with all of us!
