Hi: I’m new to Pierce (and variants) as well as 16th Century genealogy and have immediately found questions in Colonial Massachusetts / England. I was wondering if anyone could express an opinion. I have come across three slightly different publications on the ancestors of the initial immigrants, Thomas Pierce and his family, and wonder if there is a consensus on which is more correct. I do not wish to challenge any of these – I’d just like to get a feel for them before I delve into it more deeply.
