Migration of the Angie familyMany English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Angie or a variant listed above: George Hanks, who was a servant sent to the "Foreign Plantations" of Virginia in 1676; John Hanks, who came to the Virginia Colony in 1690; Ann Hanks, who arrived in Georgia in 1738.
