Learn more about your family and their history
Membership in the Maine Mayflower Society includes membership in the national society, the General Society of Mayflower Descendants and a subscription to its magazine, The Mayflower Quarterly.
The Maine Society holds three meetings annually for members and their guests. The spring meeting is an open meeting for those considering becoming a member.
By joining the Society of Mayflower Descendants, your genealogical record will be filed in a secure place, both with the Maine Society and with the General Society in Plymouth, Massachusetts. With your records on file with the Society in this manner, it will be easier for your descendants to establish their genealogical lines.

If you would like to apply for membership, please complete both the Lineage Review Form and the Preliminary Application for Membership. The lineage review provides a synopsis of your lineage from the Mayflower passenger to you. Please include full names of all spouses. Dates and places are not needed at this time.
