American Ancestors / Find My Past is running a subscription special for $99, so I just bought it. :)

Immediately I found something of interest to assist in Geni tree validation:

Early New England Families Study Project
Accounts of New England Families from 1641 to 1700

"The Early New England Families Study Project provides accurate and concise published summaries of seventeenth-century New England families. Using Clarence Almon Torrey's bibliographic index of early New England marriages and its recent successors as a guide, the project focuses on individuals who immigrated from 1641 through 1700, grouped by year of marriage."

They also produced a series of sketches, indexed. I uploaded that PDF document to the Geni project, http://www.geni.com/projects/Working-with-sources-Colonial-America/...

I'm wondering how best to organize this on Geni.

- We have a series of town projects - make an umbrella, fill in gaps?
- the "by year of marriage" tag interests me in building the "Geni world history timeline" (a "possible" wish list item)

Other ideas?

Feedback welcome & needed

Hatte Anne Blejer, Randy Stebbing as super organizers, would love your thoughts. And everyone else!

Definitely of interest to me. I'll give it some thought.
