2:00 pm to 4:00 pm Walt Branch Library, 6701 S 14th, Lincoln Rooms #1 & 2
The topic for this session is "Finding the Origins of Your Colonial Ancestors 1629-1775". We will explore the four migration groups who came to colonial America before the Revolutionary War and use maps to find where they settled in America.
Next, we will follow these groups back to their English counties of origin.
We will follow the Puritans, the Virginia and Chesapeake Settlers, the Quakers of the Delaware Valley and the Scots-Irish, America's backwoods settlers.
With about 1/3 of Americans claiming British ancestry, chances are that at some point you will need to extend your research "across the pond". These sessions are free and open to the public.
