BRITISH ANCESTORS

Atlantic Mission

Search our unique database to trace your 17th century British ancestors.

We are in the process of creating a unique database to connect the 17th century ancestors of Britain and America, to provide a clear link between those who left the old country to build America and why.

Some of this information is online but it is in paid for services buried deep in billions of records and usually only page PDFs rather than fully searchable indexes lying in rich seams of information revealing where your ancestors were from, why they left Britain and where they lived in America. And so much more.

You will be taking part in a project that will build a clearer picture over time with experts on either side of the Atlantic to help you determine the difference between Newcastle on Tyne and Newcastle under Lyme and Surry County and Surrey.

A team of experts hand-picked from each continent is assisting us to curate a collection which will make clear connections between the two great countries for posterity.
