Joining the General Society of Mayflower Descendants is a great way to honor your adventurous ancestor(s), a fun way to meet people who share your American history, and a genealogical achievement not everyone can claim.
We are delighted to help you with the process!
First, you must be able to prove direct lineal descent from a passenger that arrived aboard the Mayflower and who stayed on to establish the colony. Anyone who can provide evidence of direct lineage to a Mayflower Pilgrim is encouraged to join. We will then help you fill out the application and verify your lineage. After that we will collect the application fees and your first full year of membership and submit the package for approval to the National Society.
Research your family lineage. Use advanced research technology to help procure the family history.
Do you have a list of ancestors, but not sure if they lead back to the Mayflower? Submit the information and we can check to see if there is an existing application with the same line.
Contact the Nevada Historian to submit your application. If you have a close family member, who has already joined it’s easy? If not it will take some work, but we are here to help.
