Answer 1

Hello Kirsten,

If you're looking for English ship manifests or passenger list then try the National Archives for England, the URL is http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/

All the best

Answer 2

Kristen,

Also try the new trilogy of THE GREAT MIGRATION. These (at least to me) have been a great source of information for me. I found lots of relatives and what ships. Every name is listed.

Just another source that I found a month ago.

Aloha, Susan

Answer 3

The Henry Head who settled in Little Compton RI traces back to the Henry Head who was christened in Camerton, Cumberland, England in 1649. This has been confirmed through DNA testing of a US descendant of Henry Head and a Head cousin from the English line. Please contact me for more information.
