CCGS Library Book Review

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’ 17^th 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! 

PS – The new books are now 3 shelves full!  Thanks, Marcia

Readerware

The July Librarian Training was fabulous!  The Readerware session opened up potential research strategies not only for our visitors but for our own research as well.  Great stuff!  Thanks Brian.  When next visiting the library, do explore the Readerware options.  The more you use it - the easier it gets.  Marcia
