The aim of the Great Migration Study Project (www.greatmigration.org) is to compile comprehensive genealogical and biographical accounts of people who migrated from England to New England between 1620 and 1640. Between these years about twenty thousand English men, women, and children crossed the Atlantic to settle New England.

"This handbook presents a step-by-step process for solving genealogical problems -- a methodology thirty years in the making. Developed by Anderson and perfected through his work on the Great Migration Study Project, this systematic approach considers each source, each record, and each possible linkage before making a genealogical conclusion...Examples of actual research problems and continuing case studies, accompanied by easy-to-follow diagrams, walk you through the steps of effective genealogical analysis." -- publisher description.
