Findmypast has just released 635,867 records filed at various courts throughout the six states of New England, which include Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

These states form the northeastern corner of the United States and were all major places for immigration and settlement since colonial times. Immigrants moved here both for the rich and expansive farmlands and to the larger towns and cities like Boston, Providence, and Hartford. After the founding of the United States, new immigrants to the area who wished to become citizens needed to apply for naturalization before attaining citizenship.
