400 YEARS AGO THE PILGRIMS LANDED IN AMERICA - THE MAYFLOWER SOCIETY


MAYFLOWER SOCIETY and 400th ANNIVERSARY in 2020

A friend of mine got a message regarding a DNA test she'd taken a couple years ago.  She hadn't checked her account in some time.  A man wrote that she might be related to a passenger on the Mayflower as he is related to her and he tested that he's a descendent of one of the signers of the Mayflower Compact,  Richard Warren who was married to Elizabeth Walker.

Uncanny!

Preliminary reading on the Internet:  this man and woman had the largest family and there may be thousands related to them at this point.  Genealogical there is some controversy and revisions.

There will be celebrations and do so hope that these can go on since we are in a plague time.
