Welcome to my Mayflower genealogy blog

The focus of this blog is on finding pictures of Mayflower pilgrim descendants as far back as I can get. Sometimes I have photos and someone's claim of Mayflower ancestry but no proof, other times I have a name but lack a photo AND proof. Using the "Silver Books" published by the General Society of Mayflower Descendants (GSMD), aka "The Mayflower Society," the online resources of the New England Historical Genealogy Society, and U.S. censuses online courtesy Heritage Quest at my local library, I can usually come up with the proof but not always. I welcome public domain and old family heirloom images (pre-1912) and suggestions for people to research, new ideas for places to look, and originals of the not-so-great photos I've had to take from books digitized by the Library of Congress.
