Project Description

Details about individuals and families were taken from the "Silver Books" to create trees of four or five generations of descendants of the Mayflower passengers. All applications for membership in the Mayflower Society between 1896 and 2019 were used to create individual family trees for each society applicant. Because many applicants shared ancestors with other applicants, all duplicate instances of an individual were merged. The final database contains 480,032 individuals in a simplified list of lineage linked descendants of the Mayflower passengers.

Submission ID MMXD-DP8

Sources Used This collection of records was created from 2 data sources.


 * 1) The 30-volume publication Mayflower Families through Five Generations: Descendants of the Pilgrims Who Landed at Plymouth, Massachusetts, December 1620 Silver Books).
 * 2) Applications for membership in the General Society of Mayflower Descendants, submitted from 1896 to early 2019.

The data was merged to create a single representation for each pilgrim and their descendants for the time period of the late 1500s to 1910. These lineages descend from the 26 couples that survived the first winter. Descendants born after 1910 are not included unless a death date is noted.
