We are happy to announce that we have added Volume 73 (2025) to the Mayflower Descendant database. This update adds 268 pages, 4,748 records, and 4,742 searchable names. The indexing for these records includes full names, publication year (not the year of the record), article titles, and authors.
The Mayflower Descendant was originally published by the Massachusetts Society of Mayflower Descendants starting in 1899. In 2015, American Ancestors assumed stewardship of the venerable journal. It is an essential source of information on many New England families, and its focus is not limited to those with Mayflower lineage. The journal includes transcriptions and abstracts of deeds, wills, vital records, and other original documents. In addition, it features compiled genealogies and analytical studies of genealogical problems.
We want to thank our long-time volunteer, Sam Sturgis, for his work on this project! If you would like to get involved in the database digitization and indexing process, please contact Zobeida Chaffee-Valdes, our Database Services Volunteer Coordinator, at zobeida.chaffee-valdes@americanancestors.org.
This database is available to Individual-level and above American Ancestors members only. Consider membership.
