    I imagine my ancestors came over on a prison barge or something.

    Mine from Scotland came over because they were considered criminals in Scotland for raising fighting roosters. One brother died in the USA in a gun fight and the other, my GGG Grandpa became a traveling preacher..

    I don't know how mine got here but I'm sure glad they did.

    It’s ironic that at the present time, I do not own a gun but the first in my family to hit the Port of New Orleans from Europe was a gunsmith.

    So no, no one is qualified in my family to have anything to do with the Mayflower unless it’s pushing them up.

    In 1620, a brave group of 102 men, women and children sailed across the Atlantic on the Mayflower, searching for a life of religious and civic freedom. To honor Pilgrim ancestors and keep their story alive, the General Society of Mayflower Descendants was created in 1897. Membership requires proof of lineage from one of the passengers who traveled to America on this historic voyage in 1620.
    Through the years, the Mayflower Society has established a network of more than 150,000 descendants all over the world who form lifelong bonds, cherish the sacred memory of our ancestors and continue on their legacy through purpose, preservation, and education.
