Free Non-Member Access to the Register Online Over Thanksgiving Weekend!
NEHGS is pleased to offer free access to its New England Historical and
Genealogical Register database on
NewEnglandAncestors.org over the Thanksgiving
holiday weekend! Normally only available to NEHGS members, the Register database
will be accessible to all from Thursday, November 25 through Sunday, November

offering, and we hope that those of you who are not members find a veritable feast of

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.
To obtain free access to the Register, we only ask that you complete a short
survey to help us better define future free offers. All information given in
the survey is kept strictly confidential within NEHGS. After completing the surv
ey, you will automatically be taken to the Register database.
