Complete Book of Emigrants, 1700-1750

by Peter Wilson Coldham

Taking as its subject the first fifty years of the eighteenth century and following the arrangement of the two earlier works in this distinguished series, the third volume of "The Complete Book of Emigrants" provides a comprehensive list of emigrants from surviving records in English archives. The records used in this volume, in addition to the usual spread of sources, derive principally from (1) Plantation Apprenticeship Bindings; (2) Port Books; and (3) Convict Pardons on Condition of Transportation. Again, as with the other volumes, there are indexes of names and ships. Altogether some 25,000 emigrants are identified, bringing the total names in the three volumes to over 75,000.
