European settlers first arrived in Massachusetts in the early seventeenth century in what was primarily the territory of Algonquian Indian tribes. Throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Massachusetts was a gateway of English, Scots, Welsh, and Irish emigrants. It also was a slave-holding state until 1783. During the nineteenth century, emigrants from Canada, Eastern Europe, Great Britain, Italy, and Portugal, and freed African Americans settled in Massachusetts. Research in Massachusetts provides a solid framework and useful tool for researchers who may be looking for subject matter linked to a Native American tribe, a Mayflower ancestor, first settler documentation, or information on someone who arrived later in Massachusetts’s history as well as other resources such as qualifying military service.
