Researching Colonial American Ancestors
Presented by Jane Haldeman
Did your ancestor live in one of the Original Thirteen Colonies? Were they here before the Revolutionary War? If so you possibly have Colonial American Ancestors. Each colonist came to the “new world” for different reasons and each colony was different. They come for both religious and economic opportunities. Find out what records are available and where they are, so you can learn about your Colonial American Ancestors.
