Discover your English Heritage on Georgia Pioneers Jeannette Austin Jeannette Austin 2 min read · Just now Press enter or click to view image in full size Are you searching for your immigrant families to America from England? A BIG CLUE Search Parish Registers. The surviving records typically commence in the 1500s — with some surviving records dating from the 1300s. The Gold Mine The parish registers include baptisms, births, deaths, and marriages. You are in for a surprise. Families typically resided in the same district for generations, attending the same parishes. That means that you are likely to trace back several generations in the same record book! If you ever wondered if your kinfolkes trace back to English royalty — there is a good chance that they are. I was able to trace the Holland families back to the days of William the Conqueror, andm because of the marriages, I picked up several prominent and historical families that connected to King Edward I. Once I learned the names of these ancestors and reading about them in history books, my connecton to Medieval times became intriguing. The Good News If you are researching your English ancestors, there is a large collection of parish registers and other ancient records to examine on georgiapioneers.com.
