over
Thanksgiving Weekend!
The New England Historic Genealogical Society(NEHGS) is
pleased to
offer
free access to its New England Historical and Genealogical Register
database on
NewEnglandAncestors.org over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend!
The database will be free to everyone from Thursday, November

word

Published quarterly since 1847, The New England Historical and
Genealogical
Register is the flagship journal of American genealogy and the oldest
journal
in the field. The online database includes issues from 1847 to 1994.
> The Register has featured articles on a wide variety of
topics since
> its
inception, including vital records, church records, tax records, land
and
probate records, cemetery transcriptions, obituaries, and historical
essays.
Authoritative compiled genealogies have been the centerpiece of the
Register for
more than 150 years. Thousands of New England families have been
treated in
the pages of the journal and many more are referenced in incidental
ways
throughout. The articles in the Register range from short pieces
correcting
errors in print or solving unusual problems to larger treatments that
reveal
family origins or present multiple generations of a family.
While gathered with family over the Thanksgiving weekend, this
offering is a
unique opportunity to search for ancestors, New England families,
notables,
and more in one of America's most prestigious genealogical journals.
Details on how to obtain free access to the Register will be
available
beginning on Thanksgiving, Thursday, November 25, on the home page of
the NEHGS
website, _www.NewEnglandAncestors.org_
