Our Mission
The General Society of Mayflower Descendants is committed to research on the lineal descent of the Mayflower Pilgrims and education about the Pilgrims who traveled aboard the Mayflower in 1620. The Society provides education and understanding of why the Mayflower Pilgrims were important, how they shaped western civilization, and what their 1620 voyage means today and its impact on the world.
Our Values
Install a passion for history and awareness of the Mayflower Compact and the Pilgrim story through outreach and education.
Preserve and maintain the highest genealogical standards proving the lineal decent from the 1620 Mayflower Pilgrims
Engage and promote new scholarships, research and publication.
Support member societies and our colonies and encourage the establishments of new societies and colonies which share our mission and vision and promote the interests common to all.
Protect, preserve, and interpret our historical properties.
Our Activities
- Throughout the year, the Nevada State Society and the Las Vegas and Northern Nevada Colonies hold activities for our members and the general public. We do this to honor our heritage, to fellowship, to educate, and to entertain, as well as build relationships with our friends and cousins. Some events are free, and some, such as luncheons and dinners, have a modest fee.
See our Events Page for upcoming Activities.
