Our ancestors did not live in isolation, although we often research
them as if they did. They were part of a family, with siblings,
parents, aunts and uncles, cousins and other relatives. They were also
part of a community, with friends, neighbors, classmates, and
co-workers. This "cluster" of family, friends and neighbors can
provide valuable clues to the lives of our ancestors.
Cluster genealogy, sometimes referred to as whole family or extended
family genealogy, is the practice of extending your research on a
person to the individuals and families to which he was connected.
These connections could range from his brother or spouse, to the
neighbor who appeared as a witness on a land deed.

Video: Early Settlers of New England
In 1940 Encyclopaedia Britannica Films created an educational film
that shows the life of the early settlers of Naumkeag, a village that
later was renamed to Salem, Massachusetts. It shows the lifestyles of
1626 through 1629. This video is now available online and certainly
will interest anyone who had ancestors most anywhere in New England.
You can see how your ancestors lived.
