A superb reference work which is of immense value to genealogists and family
historians and is without doubt one of the most interesting books we have ever
produced on CD. More than 500 pages of genealogical gold!
Its full title is: The Original Lists of Persons of Quality; Emigrants;
Religious Exiles; Political Rebels; Serving Men Sold for a Term of Years;
Apprentices; Children Stolen; Maidens Pressed and Others who Went from Great
Britain to the American Plantations 1600-1700. With Their Ages, the Localities
Where They Formerly Lived in the Mother Country, the Names of the Ships in Which
They Embarked and Other Interesting Particulars.
From the introduction: "Little could even the most sanguine of the early
emigrants to America have contemplated the subsequent effect which their action
would work upon history. Some of them, it is true, were men of position at
home...... but by far the greater number was composed of comparatively obscure
men."
A wealth of information and a snapshot in time.
High quality scanned images of the whole of the original book. This CD has been bookmarked for easy
navigation, and pages can be browsed, enlarged and printed out if required.
