Researching Your New England Ancestors
The New England states are: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. These states shared boundaries and citizens and present some unique research resources. New England town records area a rich resource for social, property and vital records and a great deal of material is available and has been published for these states. All New England states are state-land states.
The oldest genealogy society in the United States is the New England Historic Genealogical Society -- and the longest running genealogy periodical in the Unites States is their Register. If you are doing New England research on the web, it is worth the price of membership to have access to the resources on their website.
