Eighty-nine immigrants have been added to this 2nd edition of the most important genealogical and historical source ever published for New England. The product of three decades of painstaking research by world-renowned expert Robert Charles Anderson, The Great Migration Directory is a complete survey of all individuals known to have come to New England during the Great Migration period from 1620 to 1640.

This expanded and updated 10th-anniversary volume covers individuals not included in previous Great Migration compendia. Each of the 5,700 sketches provides critical data, including identification of the head of each household, English or European origin (if known), date of migration, principal residences in New England, and the best available sources of information for the subject. Many new English or European origins have been discovered, sketches have been greatly expanded by research published in the last 10 years, and any errors from the 1st edition have been corrected. This new volume includes an appendix of eleven 1st-edition sketches retired by the author and his reason for doing so. The comprehensive index section of The Great Migration Directory covers Supplemental Names (names that appear within the alphabetical sketches in the main part of the book), European Place Names, American Place Names, and Ship Names. Author: Robert Charles Anderson. Paperback; 540 pages.
