English Immigration to the American Colonies

Whether your ancestors arrived at Jamestown, on the Mayflower, or came over in the years following, the majority of us with colonial ancestry hope to trace our family trees back to England. While there is a wealth of information available for tracing your ancestors’ immigration from England to the colonies, it can require a diligence and willingness to search for many types of resources. In this online lecture, Senior Genealogist Rhonda R. McClure will highlight key records and resources available to help you in your search—including published genealogies, compilations, indexes, websites, and more. She will also discuss the historical context of English immigration to the colonies.
