Come Home to New England

NEHGS has been collecting information about families in America for more than 175 years. Our collections are international in scope and contain significant materials that cover the United States, especially New England and New York, as well as Canada and Europe. This research program provides the opportunity for you to “come home” to Boston and work closely with our staff to advance your research.

Program includes:

• Tour and orientation to collections of American Ancestors Research Center
• Daily lectures
• Three, thirty-minute consultations with expert genealogists
• Group meals (daily breakfast, opening reception, and closing dinner)
• Pre-program preparatory webinar and resources
