Publishing Company:

Comprehensive in their coverage
of Mayflower Families, these books reference more than 111,000 Mayflower passengers
and their descendants. Each of the four books is comprised of 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 Code, 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.
