Early Settlers of New England

I have a definite interest in genealogy of (and direct descendant of) ancesters that lived in the early American colonies - both in Massachusetts and Virginia. There are a lot of records from the colonies, so it should be possible to document all settlers.

In researching my genealogy, I find it odd that I have early American ancesters that in some cases cannot be determined how they got to America.

It would be too overwelming to research both colonies - so I'm arbitrarily focusing on Massachusetts starting at the beginning - Plymouth_Colony and building the wiki file from there down to my line (and up from there to royalty if possible).


 * Early Settlers of New England - Founding Fathers of the Country, Church and Family.
 * Immigrant Ships To America/First Families/Mayflower My starting point is the list of Mayflower Passengers listed here
 * Immigrant Ships To America/First Families/Winthrop Fleet Most New England Family Genealogies start at this point.
 * Warenne Family Ancestry - I also enjoy learning about my ancestral lines that reach back into Midieval Royalty and beyond. They are listed here at the Project.
 * British Norman Kings - Royal line includes William the Conqueror and Rollo the Warrior.
