Mayflower Descendant 14th Generation

Genealogy research begins with yourself. So that is myself (14th generation) on the far left. These are the living female descendants of my particular line. My two daughters(15th generation) and my two granddaughters(16th generation). My two sons and grandson refused to get snagged into this photo.


The Society requires one to submit primary documents of birth, death, marriage etc.

I have in my files the original and copies of the
  1. Birth certificate with foot print issued by the hospital at the time I was born. For purposes of genealogy this is not a valid primary evidence document.
  2. Birth certificate issued by the state where I was born.
  3. High School Diploma, College Diplomas (BA, BSN), Registered Nurse documents in the states that I am permitted to practice.
  4. Marriage and divorce certificates from the states where they were issued.
  5. Birth certificate of current spouse.

The Mayflower Society requires that I submit copies of the State issued birth certificate, marriage records, divorce decree, and birth certificate of spouse.

If my children or grandchildren want to join the Society they have to provide their birth certificate. If they can prove, through primary records, that they are descended from me they may be eligible for Society membership.
