Settlers in early American colonies may have lived under more than one colonial power, and even after the United States was founded, areas that would become part of America were still held by rival powers. In the period stretching from the early 1600s to the early 1800s, records kept at local, state, colonial and federal levels vary from few-and-scattered to many-and-detailed. Understanding who kept records, and what kind they were keeping, can help make your search fruitful.
Cathy Andrews is the Senior Librarian for Adult Services with the Salinas Public Library, where she teaches the “Genealogy Basics” series and oversees genealogy resources, services, and programming. Growing up in a family where stories and details about ancestors were woven into every family gathering, she has a deep appreciation for genealogy’s challenges and rewards.
