Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada Genealogy & History More Canadian Resources | More Newfoundland Resources BOOK - Soe longe as there comes noe Women: Origins of English Settlement in Newfoundland By W. Gordon Handcock
Permanent settlement was not immmediate however it was influenced by the migratory fishery. Many seasonal communities that were visited for years, later became the sites of permanent settlement. Handcock, a professor at Memorial University, began his research in 1973. The thirty-four pages of footnotes and fourteen pages of bibliography attest to the intense and in-depth work in his socio-economic study. The numerous maps, graphs, tables and charts also enhance the book's value to historians and genealogists. Handcock delves into the pattern of migration from English homelands to the various nooks and crannies of Newfoundland and into the personalities of such original communities. In his third section he identifies names, occupations, some of the reasons for emigration (from England) and general effects on the regions that the emigrants left. Making available previously unknown and untapped sources of information, Hancock's book is a treasure trove for those intent on the study of Newfoundland's heritage, and it's founding families.
