In honor of the many volumes of genealogy he wrote more than 100 years ago, before there were computers, let alone an Internet, I selected Everett S. Stackpole as the 1000th entry on MayflowerFaces.com. Congratulations, Everett! More specifically, I selected his Billington entry, for reasons that students of Pilgrim history may recognize. I hope he was proud of all his Mayflower ancestors (the Billington family, Francis Eaton, Dr. Samuel Fuller, and Thomas Rogers.) Of his 4 lines, 1 (Rogers) was from the Leiden religious Separatist group. The rest were "Strangers."

And today is the feast of Sts. Simon and Jude (patron of hopeless causes.) I wasn't sure how hopeful to be when starting this web site 3 years ago but thank you, St. Jude, all you readers, my assistant webmaster, and everyone on the Good Ship Mayflower 395 years ago. I hope you all come back again and again, click on the ads while you're here, and send me a photo or two to post. Thank you!
