An inspiring story of one family who came from England to the Massachusetts Bay Colony during "The Great Migration," 1620-1642, and their contribution to the development of America.
This Fairbanks Video summarizes the general experiences of the Fairbanks pioneer ancestors who left Sowerby/ Halifax area in Yorkshire to join The Great Migration in 1633.
This video covers 300 years of "history in a hurry," concisely outlining the problems that familes experienced in England and "New England," 1630-1900. Take a tour through the Fairbanks House, built in 1636, to see 17th-century skill in craftsmanship, architecture, and furnishing. Take a tour through Yorkshire, England, to learn the emotional cost to our ancestors of leaving their homeland behind. Meet just a few of the many Fairbanks descendants who helped develop the America of today.
