Monthly Seminar for the Pikes Peak Genealogical Society

The fact that England used transportation to get rid of those it didn't want is well known. What isn't as well understood is that most of the early transportees were sent to colonial America. Americans like to believe their bold ancestors sold themselves into service as indentured servants and won their freedom by hard work. Um, no… not exactly. Let’s look at the how and the why and, yes, the where of transportation from England.
