This title has been reprinted several times. The NEHGS Library has a typescript, titled Emigrants to New England before 1650 with additions and changes, apparently made by Alfred Trego Butler, a colleague of Banks, from 1929-1945. This changes improve or provide more details for some entries in the book. [edit] NotesThis work "comprises genealogical records of nearly 3,000 emigrants, giving their English homes, names of ships in which they sailed, towns in which they settled in New England, and references to the printed or manuscript sources from which the information derived. In collecting data for this work, Col. Banks made seven visits to England, searching the records of nearly 2,000 parishes in order to connect the New England immigrants with their native parishes." Also known as English Emigrants to New England. |
