The Research Like a Pro Genealogy Podcast RLP 344: Colonial American Research and “The Peopling of British North America"
In Episode #344 of Research Like a Pro, Nicole and Diana discuss Colonial American Research. Diana explains the difficulties of finding the original immigrant for ancestors who immigrated during the colonial years. Nicole suggests learning from historians who have studied immigration patterns and developing a hypothesis based on what is known about ancestors and their groups. They introduce the book "The Peopling of British North America: An Introduction" by Bernard Bailyn as a resource for understanding colonial immigration.
Diana and Nicole discuss the book's value for genealogists and its four propositions. They explore how the propositions connect to genealogical research and provide examples of how to apply them to specific ancestral lines. Nicole highlights the importance of understanding immigration patterns and using historical context to form hypotheses about ancestors' origins and motivations for immigration.
