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. For a century and a half genealogists have been studying these families, and thousands of books and articles have been published as a result.

In anticipation of the 2008 Great Migration Tour to England, we will be posting here a regular bulletin, called Tour Talk. This monthly feature, to appear nine times, from November 2007 through July 2008, will include information on sites to be visited during the tour, on Great Migration immigrants to New England from the parishes we will be seeing, on topics of general interest and on the logistical details of the tour itself. Anyone is welcome to view Tour Talk.
