Family History Connect | New England Historical and Genealogical Register

The New England Historical and Genealogical Register began in 1847 and is still going today. The journal is home to an immense wealth of genealogical information which is mostly about the New England region in the US, but it also contains articles and connections back to the UK.

Contents include parish registers for various parishes, wills, memorials, articles on historical events, biographies, pictures, obituaries and much more. Early volumes are on Internet Archive and freely available, along with handy indexes to volumes 1-50. Subscription sites have the more recent volumes.

Patrice Connelly will take you through what you need to know to access and use this spectacular resource. It will be of particular interest to those of us with US cousins, US ancestry or branches of our UK and Irish families that ended up in the US. Even if they didn't stay in New England, you may find valuable connecting evidence back to England and on to where your cousins moved.

This is a members only event that will take place via Zoom.

Bookings are essential for this session.
