Mayflower Descandants

Are you a Mayflower Descandant?  

How do You Know?

Do you have Old New England roots?

I did not think I would discover Revolution Patriots in my Ancestry.  But alas I did indeed.  So then as I search tru more and more of my ancestors trees I then begin to wonder is the Mayflower possible?

I say it is possible for all Old New England descendants to have roots in the Mayflower passage.

I have just read that if you go to Plimoth/Plymouth you will not be able to see the Mayflower replica.  It is in dry dock for repairs.  I was fortunate to have seen it in June 2010.  Being in the vessel it was cramped quarters at best.  Not much room for privacy.

While I was in Plimoth that day i picked up the book by Nathaniel  Philbrick "Mayflower".  Amazing research he put into the book.  To  me its a must read for Mayflower descandants.

Descendants of Mayflower

I so enjoy it when I can help someone discover a bit more about themselves.  Who does not want to know more about themselves?  As in the case of one of my clients that if you keep reading you will certainly find out.

  Some times a client will bring me only a small amount of their family history.  While others will have 3 complete generations to work with.

Now my story about being a Mayflower descendant:

 My client, lets call her JanieSue, first gave me her info on her husbands family.  I quickly found his lines out.  Old New Hampshire family lines.  It was quick.  I kept having to ask her about her father & mothers lines.  She had a family trip already planned.  She took her trip and came back with information for her fathers side. 

   I took the information she gave me.  I had one lead after another.  It was great finding out that she is a descendant of the Military Leader on the Mayflower Myles Standish.  
She was so excited to find this out.  I was most happy to have given her the news.
