Reading The Great Migration Newsletter | One Rhode Island Family The Great Migration Study Project The New England Historic Genealogical Society’s Great Migration Study Project has the following mission: The aim of the Great Migration Study Project is to compile comprehensive genealogical and biographical accounts of every person who settled in New England between 1620 and 1640. Between these years about twenty thousand English men, women, and children crossed the Atlantic to settle New England.

The Family History Library, Salt Lake City Preparing I had prepared beforehand, in Evernote, a list of microfilms and books to explore.
