Are you a Mayflower descendant?
Thanksgiving is November 26, 2026 — the perfect week to find out. Name one grandparent (or great-grandparent) who has died, and we'll check it against the six Mayflower passengers in our research catalog.

What the Mayflower Society asks for
The General Society of Mayflower Descendants doesn't accept a compiled online tree — it wants a documented line of descent, generation by generation, with a source for every step. See how we grade evidence.
We prepare a lineage sheet you can bring to the Society; they decide. How Document works.
