What's New on the Phelps Family History Site
February 2021 Update
Like most of western civilization, if not everyone on the planet, we've been at home a lot with time on our hands. We've completed a significant number of updates to the web site.
- We reorganized the menu to more clearly identify the genealogy sections.
- We gathered all of the information about William and George Phelps' origins and the proof they are not brothers in a single place. We added notes throughout the sight to remind people of this fact.
- We consolidated redundant information about William Phelps family in one location.
- We simplified the menu structure so it's easier to find information.
- We gathered all of the various colonial ships and their voyages in a single place.
- We added a number of new Phelps, Claggett, and Beasley wills and deeds.
- We added new background about the warrent that stalled the voyage of Mary and John from sailing to New England.
- We added wills, biographies, picture galleries, and obituaries of several family members:
- We created a series of pages highlighting the first known American ancestors in each of the eight major familes:
- We cleaned up formatting errors, made many images larger, and we put some series of pages on a single page.
In case you're wondering, there are 3,223 pages on the web site, including 2,443 pages of family genealogy. There are 17,863 individuals, 5,747 families, and 807 sources representing
over 2000 surnames. This web site was initially published in 1998.
We hope the changes more fully and easily reveal the depth and breadth of
information available on The Phelps Family in America web site. As always,
we welcome your feedback.
