Membership
Any person, 18 years of age or older, able to document their descent from one or more of the following Mayflower Pilgrims is eligible to apply for membership in the Mayflower Society:
John Alden |
Francis Eaton |
Thomas Rogers |
Many families hold a tradition that they are descended from the Pilgrims, which often kindles an interest in finding out more. Sometimes the stories of a Mayflower heritage are true and it is easy to document a descent. More often the documentation is missing and must be researched and supplied to prove your line. The good news is it that advanced research techniques, improved genealogy library collections and computerized resources have made it easier to track down your Pilgrim roots. The first step toward membership is to complete the preliminary review form found at the Preliminary Review Form Page.
