Years as Neighbors: New England and New
York in the Colonial Era
Henry
B. Hoff
The
migrations between New England and
New York
were both substantial and complex.
This lecture categorizes and analyses these migrations with
numerous examples, and concludes that a successful researcher must
often look in multiple jurisdictions to develop a complete picture
of a family in colonial northeastern
America
.
Henry
Hoff, CG, FASG, is editor of The
New England Historical and Genealogical Register.
He is the author of many genealogical articles and the
compiler, editor, or co-editor of several books.
He is a contributing editor of The
American Genealogist, and for fifteen years was editor or
consulting editor of The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record.
Kilmer Middle School

Publicity Volunteers
Needed
We need publicity volunteers; we are looking for
several volunteers to help to get the word out about our FxGS
meetings, classes, SIG's and conference. With enough
volunteers, it shouldn't take a lot of time to notify our local
newspapers, national and local genealogical organizations, and the
broadcast media. We need volunteers who can help with the
write-ups, formatting, and distribution. If anyone wants to
Chair this project that would be appreciated too.
