I'm currently working on the branch of my Dad's family that came over to the US really early. Not Mayflower so far, though one guy brought his family over in a ship that accompanied the Mayflower on its third voyage!

One thing with those early guys - there is a lot of info about them. A lot is wrong but a lot is verified. And how much research do I need to personally do on a guy with a number of books written about him?

The guy I was just looking at is Walter Palmer - arrived in Salem, Massachusetts in 1629, helped found Rehoboth, Massachusetts, then moved to Stonington, Connecticut. I'm done with him - just put in his essentials and have records on the various references to go to for more details.
