Delving into Colonial Town Records

Description

Genealogical delving into American colonial town records involves researching historical documents from the colonial period in America to trace ancestry. These records, which include birth, marriage, and death certificates, property records, and town meeting minutes, provide a wealth of information about our ancestors and their lives. The original  European colonist nations in America were from Spain, Portugal, Britain, France, and the Netherlands. Each of these nations established colonies in North America and as they started towns, kept valuable records. Watch this video about how to get started using these valuable records.
