Colonial Immigration - The English Pioneers of Early America - free webinar by Beth Foulk now online for limited time

2015-10-14-image500blog
The recording of last night's webinar, "Colonial Immigration - The English Pioneers of Early America" by Beth Foulk is now available to view for free at www.FamilyTreeWebinars.com.
Imagine leaving everything you and your family has known for generations for an unexplored, unfamiliar, possibly hostile “New World.” Who were these people of unbounded courage, faith, and resiliency who ultimately laid the foundation for the America as we know it? What stories they must tell! What do the records reveal of their immigration, voyage and settlements in America? We’ll look at what history has left us in passenger records and alternative sources – both primary and secondary – to peel back this riveting portion of our personal and national history.
