Albums Great Migration (119)
The "Great Migration," as defined by the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS), encompasses the English Puritan migration to New England from 1620 to 1640. This movement primarily involved English Puritans who relocated in family units, driven by a quest for religious freedom and the aspiration to establish a Puritan commonwealth. These migrants originated from various regions of England and settled in areas that now form Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine, including the Plymouth Colony and the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
An individual's inclusion in the Great Migration Study Project requires evidence of migration to New England within the specified period of 1620 to 1640. The project's objective is to compile biographical and genealogical profiles of all immigrants who arrived in New England during these two decades. The NEHGS has produced extensive volumes and directories, providing details about the lives of these immigrants. This collection presents research on many ancestors who were part of this significant historical migration.
You may be shocked by how many there are. Even I was at first. However, most of these Great Migration ancestors are my 9th and 10th great-grandparents, and in some cases 11th and 12th, and with the number of great-grandparents doubling with each generation, the possibilities quickly become immense. We have a total of 1024 sets of 9th great-grandparents and 2048 sets of 10th great-grandparents. This makes finding so many Great Migration ancestors more understandable.Founding Families of Portsmouth (0)

Notes - Renald (or Reginald) Fernald, a pivotal figure in early Portsmouth, New Hampshire, was among the first settlers, arriving in 1631. Sent by Captain Mason, he was notably the first surgeon in the area, showcasing his medical expertise which may have originated from his service in the English Navy. Throughout his life, Renald significantly contributed to the community, holding various key positions including Clerk of Court, Recorder of Deeds, Commissioner, Surveyor, and Town Clerk.
His judicial involvement was marked as early as 1634 when he served on the grand jury, and he continued his civic duties as a recorder in 1654. Renald's residence on "Doctor's Island" (now known as Pierce's Island) was where he spent his final days, passing away between May 17 and October 7, 1656. His final resting place is believed to be at Point of Graves Cemetery in Portsmouth.
In addition to his professional and civic roles, Renald was an active church member from May 25, 1640. His familial legacy includes his wife Joanna, whom some sources suggest he married on January 1, 1619, though her maiden name remains uncertain with suggestions like "Warburton." He was also the father of sons John, Samuel, William, and Thomas, with William Fernald later becoming a lieutenant, safeguarding valuable items on Fernald's Island during the tumultuous times of 1694.
