Mayflower Supplementals – Again
These were really easy supplementals to approve, but for some reason I have determined that I want everyone to count when I have my Mayflower Passenger count. This time I added two additional people from the Billington Family and two from the Eaton Family. Earlier I had proven Francis Billington and Francis Eaton. This roundContinue reading “Mayflower Supplementals – Again”

For the most recent round of supplementals that were recently approved I added hisContinue reading “Mayflower Supplementals”

Newly Approved! Revolutionary War Patriots
I am amazed at how many Revolutionary War Patriots I have been able to find once I started searching and using a wide variety of sources – plus knowing about the Daughters of the American Revolution database which identifies people who have already proven lineage and sometimes it takes very little effort to tie intoContinue reading “Newly Approved!
