In establishing your documentation, you will need to prove that one generation leads to the next generation. The Society has completed and published many of the passenger lineages through the first 5 generations. These volumes may be found in many libraries. If you are interested you may purchase a copy of your ancestor listing. The types of documentation sources acceptable to the society are listed below.

The following Mayflower Passengers have known descendants:

John Alden, Issac Allerton, John Billington, William Bradford, Peter Brown, William Brewster, James Chilton, Francis Cooke, Edward Doty, Francis Eaton, Moses Fletcher, Edward Fuller, Samuel Fuller, Stephen Hopkins, John Howland, Christopher Martin, William Mullins, Degory Priest, Richard More, Thomas Rogers, Henry Samson, George Soule, Myles Standish, John Tilley, Richard Warren, William White, and Edward Winslow

The last entry will be your name with your date of birth, date you were married, to whom you are married, whether this is your 1^st marriage, 2^nd marriage, etc. The dates and places need to be included in your references. BC (Birth Certificate- listing place of birth and date of birth - will also name parents) MC (Marriage Certificate - listing place, date and may name parents) DC (Death Certificate will list place, date, name of spouse, also parents and place of birth - this is sometimes listed only as a state)

The earlier records may only be church records which will list BP (when the person named was baptized and listed in the record.) Tomb Stone pictures very often will give dates and names. Sometimes only the initials are carved into the stone. (Can be used as secondary proof.) Wills naming the next of kin are excellent records for establishing relationships between parent and child. Wills can be obtained from County Probate offices and are usually not expensive.

Use the source listing to establish other types of documentation that can be used. Always copy the title page of any book used as well as the page listing the information you have cited. Never use high-lighters. Always underline information with a red pencil or pen. List page number in reference section as well as the title of the book. If using a family Bible - Copy the Title page to establish the age of the record. Carefully photocopy the pages listing births, marriages and deaths. Census records especially 1850 census and beyond list husband and wife, age, children, and place of birth. A good secondary source for establishing a child and a place of birth.

Keep your documentation together by generation. On the back of each copy (please don't send originals) print your name, the name of your ancestor, and the generation of the proof. You can use labels with the information printed, or run your copy through your printer and add the information.
