In Partnership with the New England Historic Genealogical Society

The Boston Tea Party Descendants Program is committed to fostering interest in genealogical connections to participants in the Boston Tea Party, their families, and those involved in the making of colonial rebellion in Boston. With this goal in mind, the program has partnered with the famed New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS).

Founded in 1845, NEHGS is the country’s leading resource for historical family research. Through genealogical forums, access to historical documents, lesson plans, secondary resources, oral histories, newsletters etc., the Boston Tea Party Descendants Program genealogical database will continue to grow into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 that changed the course of American history, known as the Boston Tea Party.

The incredible program will not only connect people to their shared histories, but also serve as a hub of information and shared resources for local, national, and international historians!

The Boston Tea Party Descendants Program is now open and accepting memberships and applications. Please click here to learn more >
