If you are trying to find an immigrant ancestor who arrived in the Americas during the 17th, 18th, or early 19th century, we possesses the biggest and most authoritative collection of published early emigration records in existence. Many of these records are available on searchable CDs as well as in published books. Our emigration CDs represent the equivalent of a full library shelf of emigration books, with the added virtues of a comprehensive electronic name index and a much smaller price tag than the books themselves.
You can now acquire four of the CDs in our emigration collection at even greater savings when you purchase our Immigration CD Bundle. This collection contains the following four CDs:
- The Complete Book of Emigrants, 1607-1776. With approximately 140,000 names, this CD contains the most comprehensive list ever published of the men, women, and children who emigrated from England to America between 1607 and 1776.
- Immigrants to the New World, 1600s-1800s. This CD contains images of the pages from five books, each of which contains a complete collection of articles on ships' passenger lists that originally appeared in America's most prestigious genealogy periodicals.
- Scottish Immigrants to North America, 1600s-1800s. From original records and printed sources in Great Britain, Canada, and the U.S., David Dobson has amassed information on 75,000 Scottish immigrants to North America, the majority of whom arrived in America from the earliest colonial times up to the Revolutionary War.
- British Emigrants in Bondage, 1614-1788. This the definitive record of 48,000 felons carried from the jails of England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland to help populate colonial America.
