The new issue of TAG, vol. 90, no. 1, is now at press and will mail to all subscribers in two to three weeks.

This issue continues our recent focus on Plymouth Colony with three articles on Old Colony families, leading off with the incomparably named Hercules Hills and his cousin Edmund Tilson. Another article carefully places a migrant from Cape Cod to Maine in his parental family with Mayflower descents. Two other articles feature interpretations of lost early colonial documents, a will and a writ, found in unlikely places. While most of this issue dwells in coastal New England — Maine, Massachusetts, Plymouth Colony, and Connecticut — we will resume a healthy dose of Southern genealogy with the next issue. Thanks to all subscribers for your patience!

The new issue of TAG, vol. 89, no. 4, is now at press and will mail to all subscribers in two to three weeks.

This issue leads off with the groundbreaking discovery by Sue Allan, Caleb Johnson, and Simon Neal of the origin of Susanna (Jackson) (White) Winslow, one of the two women who gave birth on board the Mayflower in 1620. This issue completes a blockbuster volume including the identity of three out of the 102 original Mayflower passengers: Susanna, her first husband William White, and William’s niece, Dorothy May Bradford, first wife of Governor William Bradford. Also in this issue are colonists in New England, New Jersey, and Virginia; a new feature including short discoveries of colonists’ origins; a nineteenth-century family with four pairs of twins (and four other children as well); an English village Typhoid Mary; and more.

The new issue of TAG, vol. 89, no. 3, is now at press and will mail to all subscribers just after Christmas.

This issue concludes the article begun in TAG 89.2 revealing the origin and kinship of Mayflower passengers William White and his niece, Dorothy (May) Bradford. Issue 89.3 contains a detailed genealogy of their shared ancestry among the Cross and May families, including Dorothy’s grandfather’s association with the Elizabethan sect known as the “Family of Love”.

Other material included in this issue ranges from colonial Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut, to Maryland and Georgia.

The final issue of volume 89 is in preparation and will publish right around the New Year. Follow this link to purchase a subscription, or follow this link to purchase individual issues.

Today TAG debuts a slight redesign to our website, based in part on the updated typography and color scheme which debuted with the most recent issue (TAG 89.1). The website will be further edited in the near future, including, we hope, incorporating better site search capability allowing users to search the consolidated table of contents.
