NEW ENGLAND: DIRECTORY OF THE ANCESTRAL HEADS OF NEW ENGLAND FAMILIES, 1620-1700. Frank R. Holmes. CD-WIN/MACAuthor: Frank R. Holmes, compiler
Pages: 278
Pub. Date: (1923) 2006
ISBN: 1933828501
Holmes has produced a unique resource in which he
combined a brief biographical and genealogical entry for each New England
immigrant head of household prior to 1700 with etymologies of many of the
surnames, reflecting his conviction that the "study of names is of itself
an absorbing subject."
For each immigrant, Holmes included information on English origin (where known),
date and place of first residence in New England, known relationships to other
immigrants, removes from one town to another, and a variety of other
biographical details.
Holmes covered all of New England to the end of the seventeenth century,
including some deaths of immigrants well into the eighteenth century. He took
notice of removes outside of New England, for the most part to New York.
