The All-Surname Index (tab at bottom left of home page) is complete and we'll see how it works. If you are wondering whether anyone in your family has any Mayflower connection at all, and you have no idea where to look, you can now search for that surname in the regular index and find a probable straight-line descendant OR check the All-Surname Index to see if they married one. This should be especially helpful with females who married into a totally non-Mayflower family and went West or in some cases, left the country. For example, if I put modern-day or living people's pictures on here (which I do not do, as a rule), and you wondered if anyone named Lynch was on the Mayflower, that surname is not in the regular index because I have not found any 100-year-old photos of a Lynch Mayflower descendant. So, you might look for that surname in the All-Surname index. There you would find the name Lynch, with "ALD BRE BRO COO DOT ROG SOU WAR," and then my name (listed as my maiden name). My dad married a Lynch, and that is our list of pilgrims. (ALD includes MUL.) Look for me in any of those sections and you'd see where the Lynch surname fit into Mayflower history. Let me know how well this works for you!
