Comprehensive in its coverage of Mayflower families, this data source references more than 111,000 Mayflower passengers and their descendants. You'll discover family history articles that originally appeared in The New England Historical and Genealogical Register between 1847 and 1985. This collection represents the largest collection of writings from the foremost Mayflower scholars of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It covers the locations where most descendants of the Mayflower Pilgrims had settled by the end of the eighteenth century including Cape Cod, Plymouth, Nantucket, and Martha's Vineyard.

The records date from the 1500s, including some from England, and continue through the 1800s, showing several generations of Mayflower descendants. What you can learn about each listed individual varies, depending on the article. However, in this collection you will find birth, baptismal, marriage, death, and probate records, as well as cemetery inscriptions and descendant listings. These types of records may provide you with information such as the dates and locations of important family events, as well as the names of the participants, witnesses, or other family members.
