re: gopher://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/11/journals/kraftpub/Genealogical
(note this is a pretty old gopher site so Robert may not be at UPenn
anymore) and to RIGENWEB-L,
May 14, 1999

Since people are having problems downloading
the 6.9 megabyte Savage Book
gopher://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/11/journals/kraftpub/Genealogical

A GENEALOGICAL DICTIONARY of THE FIRST SETTLERS OF NEW ENGLAND,
SHOWING THREE GENERATIONS OF THOSE WHO CAME BEFORE MAY, 1692,
ON THE BASIS OF FARMER'S REGISTER.
BY JAMES SAVAGE,
transcribed and corrected by Robert Kraft 1994
assisted by Benjamin Dunning.

[[Corrected electronic version copyright Robert Kraft, July 1994]]
I am taking the liberty to split it up into its original 4 volumes and posting it to the books online
website.

http://genweb.net/~books/
http://genweb.net/~books/savage/
http://genweb.net/~books/savage/SavageVol1.txt A-C
http://genweb.net/~books/savage/SavageVol2.txt D-J
http://genweb.net/~books/savage/SavageVol3.txt K-R
http://genweb.net/~books/savage/SavageVol4.txt S-Z

each file is still large but less than 2 megabytes.

Robert if you are still at UPenn I hope that is OK with you.

PC users can get the full zipped 2MB SavageDictionary file at
MomJ <> website: http://capecodmouse.com/
http://capecodmouse.com/temp/savages.zip

Robert Kraft has some other interest material at his old gopher site
re: gopher://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/11/journals/kraftpub/
including some nice poems and diary transcriptions.

I should add that the Savage book is very old
and out of date, and hard to read with all the abbreviations.
Many families have had genealogies done on them, and many towns
have later and better genealogies on various families.
Also the Great Migration Project at NEHGS is the
latest, most complete, fully referenced, and
documented work of this type.

It (GMP) covers only the immigrant family not the descendants, but
references other works (if available)
where descendants and ancestors can be found.

Only families that arrived in or before 1633 are available now
in the first 3 volumes, later volumes will have later arrivals.

The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England 1620-1633
By Robert Charles Anderson, F.A.S.G.
This three volume set is the most accurate, up-to-date
information on over 900 early New England families by
providing a consistent format for the information on each individual
or family, which includes their port or country of origin, if known;
the date and ship on which they arrived in New England, if known:
the earliest known record of the individual or family; their first
residence and subsequent residence, when known; return trips to
their country of origin, whether temporary or permanent; and
marriages, births, deaths and other important family relationships.
To find the same information elsewhere, you'd have to refer to as
many as 15 different books and dozens of historical records, if you
could even gain access to them. Alphabetically organized by last
name, it opens with an introoductory discussion of the
methodology and sources used to develop the entries. There is also
the "Phantom File," which includes names not covered in the main
entries, along with the reason that they are not included. In some
cases, it is because the individual actually arrived in New England
at a later date than the period covered here. In other cases, it is
because there is no primary evidence that he or she ever existed, as
in the case of names that were once misread, then repeated
incorrectly in the literature. This project reflects immense scholarly
resourcefullness and is a tremendous source of helpful and
pertinent genealogical information that should be of interest to the
historian and the novice researcher alike.

NEHGS. 1996. Index. 2,386pp.
$125.00 Member price $112.50 Item #S2-84432

And of course the The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, 1847-1994 fully indexed 9 CD ROM
set is just an amazing resource for the serious New England genealogists.
