Bradford Immigrants from the 1600s
Entries on this list come from the book Bradford Family History. Below is a list of Bradford emigrants from 1620-mid 1700s. This information comes from the book "Bradford Family History" published by the American Genealogical Institute in 1978 by Heritage Press, Inc. I imagine that the only way to purchase this book is through the AGI above or through Heritage Press since it's no longer available in book stores. You may be able to find a copy in a rare/used bookstore however. The address for the AGI in 1978 is:
American Genealogical Research Institute
