This is the most famous of all ships' passenger lists and historically
the most important single-volume list of English-speaking immigrants
of the colonial period ever published. Transcribed from the records of
the British State Paper Office, it contains the names of over 11,000
immigrants with their ages, former places of residence, and the names
of ships in which they embarked. The use of the book is greatly
enhanced by a sixty-six page index, giving the Christian as well as
the family name of all immigrants cited in various lists throughout
the work.
"It has never been superseded and remains the most outstanding of its
kind in genealogical reference."-- Library Journal, Oct. 15, 1962.
"Such a wide variety of material is included that pages would be
needed even to list it all."--DAR Magazine, Jan. 1963..\
Also includes the Jamestown Musters (Census) of 1624 & 1625.
