"This important classic work, first published in 1930, lists the names of immigrants to New England during the Great Migration, 1620-1640: more than 3,500 names of passengers on 96 ships. Going year by year, for each person, Banks lists full name, the name of the ship, believed place of origin, and place of residence in America. In addition to this key information is an essay called "A study of emigration to New England in colonial times," providing readers with insight into the lives of their immigrant ancestors" -- Publisher's description.
