The following message was posted on another list, but it will be of particular interest
to all of you who had ancestors in New England.
"As a way to introduce potential members to the wealth of information available to
members, NEHGS is pleased to offer free access to one of the thousands of databases on
NewEnglandAncestors.org, The New England
Historical and Genealogical Register. Normally available only to NEHGS members, the
Register database will be accessible to all from Monday, March 20 through Wednesday, March
22, 2006.
Published quarterly since 1847, the Register is the flagship journal of American genealogy
and the oldest journal in the field. The database includes issues from 1847 to 1994. For
more information, visit:
.newenglandancestors.org/research/Database/register/reg_info.asp.
Non-members will be asked to provide contact information, which will not be shared, but
will be used to send information about membership to visitors. Visitors will be taken
automatically to the Register database
after submitting their information.
PLEASE NOTE: Only the extensive Register database will be open for public use. The
remainder of the databases continue to be accessible to members only."
