About

I am a member of the General Society of Mayflower Descendants with approved lineage papers back to eight signers of the Mayflower Compact [Francis Cooke, John Tilley, Richard Warren, Stephen Hopkins, William Brewster, John Howland, Edward Fuller, Samuel Fuller]. Most of the ancestral lines, for which parallel chronological generation-by-generation stories are provided, either begin with a Mayflower passenger or begin with an ancestor who is collateral to one of these proven Mayflower ancestral lines. Therefore, most of the ancestral lines being provided here have been vetted^* by The Mayflower Society.

^*“For the amateur genealogist, you can take pride knowing that the gold standard in lineage societies has thoroughly reviewed and verified your family’s lineage.” [https://themayflowersociety.org/join/membership-benefits/]

Updated 1 Nov 2024… based on newest information relative to ancestry of Matthew Fuller of Barnstable. My previously approved lineage to Samuel1 Fuller has been conclusively proven as incorrect. Neither of my corrected lineages back to Matthew Fuller of Barnstable [one through his son, Samuel, and one through his daughter, Elizabeth) no longer qualify as Mayflower lines [thru Edward1 Fuller]. My lineage back to Edward1 Fuller [through his son, Samuel2 Fuller] remains correct and valid.
