This is the year we commemorate the 400th Anniversary of the First Thanksgiving. And many people are wondering "Did my ancestors come on the Mayflower?" If you have colonial New England ancestry, you might have a Pilgrim in your family tree! It is estimated that over 20 million people around the world are descended from a Mayflower passenger.
Here are my own lineages in alphabetical order with Mayflower passengers in bold. Do we have any cousin connections?
