[Genealib] article on English emigration

[Trevia W Beverly]

I did some checking and came up empty handed.  Does the patron remember anything specific about the article - some other phrase that might lend to a search?  Wonder if she could be mistaken in where she saw it?  In a 'special' newspaper such as USA Today perhaps, or some periodical (genealogy or otherwise)?  Was the article 'historic' in nature or did it have something to do with today's immigration problems? A review of a book or of a History Channel program?

For English history of those who came early to America, Fischer's "Albion's See" is wonderful.  Many of us are still eagerly awaiting the other books in  the series!  

For lack of anything else, your patron might find information here --

There are so many good sites .. just by a turn of a phrase, all sorts of sites turn up.

Good luck in your quest.  I'm sure a lot of us will be interested in the answer, if found.

  Look for articles mentioning "Albion's Seed" or its author, David Hackett Fischer.  Dr. George Schweitzer frequently cites him in his talks at genealogy conferences.

  A patron asked me to find an article that she read last year on English emigration.  She said that it ran in our local paper, but may have been an Associated Press or United Press or Reuters, etc. reprint.

  It listed where people from specific parts of England left to go to specific parts of the United States.  For example, maybe people from Liverpool tended to go to New Hampshire, etc.

  I checked our Dayton Daily News, Ohio Newsbank, Electric Library and EbscoHost databases.  Electric Library had two interesting maps, but no related article.

  There seem to be a few references in PERSI on Heritage Quest, but I don't think she was reading a specific genealogy magazine.  I think it was a mainstream newspaper article.

  Any ideas?
