Colonial Special Interest Group - 8 Jul 2023

Interested in exploring your Colonial American roots? Then this is the special interest group for you!

Today's Topic: Tracking Captives through the French and Indian Intercolonial Wars

The French and Indian Wars (1688-1783), known as the Intercolonial Wars in Quebec, were a series of conflicts across what is today the US/Canadian border involving British, French and Dutch colonials and Native Americans. Of particular interest to genealogists are the thousands of persons taken captive from New England frontier villages and force marched or carried to Canada. We will tell the story of the four wars making up these conflicts and how to track the many children and their parents who were caught up as captives, mainly using the Deerfield raid of 1704 as an example.

Today's Facilitator: Michelle Wilson
