Week 6-Massachusetts: Genealogy by the States

Jim Sanders at Hidden Genealogy Nuggets website and blog has created the Genealogy by the States blogging prompt, suggesting each week we blog about an ancestor or one of our families that have a connection to that state.  This week's state is Massachusetts.

My roots run deep in the state of Massachusetts, tracing back to Colonial Times.  Today, I will concentrate on my earliest Massachusetts ancestors.  The table below gives the names and residences of my Massachusetts ancestors in Colonial times.

I enjoy researching Colonial times.  There are numerous Massachusetts resources available, too many to list in one blog post.  Here are a few of my favorites:

• A Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England by James Savage 
• American Ancestors
• Early Vital Records of Massachusetts From 1600-1850
• Family Search Wiki for Massachusetts
• Great Migration Series by Robert Charles Anderson
• Massachusetts Historical Society
• Massachusetts State Archives
• The Plymouth Colony Archives Project
• Records of the Suffolk County Court 1671-1680
• New Englanders in the 1600's by Martin Hollick
• Torrey's New England Marriages Prior to 1700
