The mission of the Boston Tea Party Descendants Program is to foster interest in genealogical connections to participants in the Boston Tea Party, their families, and those involved in the making of colonial rebellion in Boston. Through access to historical documents, aid from genealogists at American Ancestors by New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS), lesson plans, secondary resources, oral histories, newsletters etc., the Boston Tea Party Descendants online platform will continue to grow into a resource for descendants, their families, researchers, and organizations to bring a further personal and cultural understanding to the revolutionary event known as the Boston Tea Party. By connecting people to their personal, familial, and shared histories with the people involved in, and the events surrounding the Boston Tea Party, the platform will aim to be a resource and connection to shared local history, national history, and international history. This will be a unique program, in that it will be a collaborative genealogical repository that our members will help to build through their contributions in the form of family papers, personal documents, and documents from other such genealogical applications that they wish to make available.

**Note** some genealogical resources are only available to those with a membership, for privacy purposes. For more information on joining the Boston Tea Party Descendants Program, click on the button below
