The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England 1620-1633 series. The Mayflower Descendant: A Journal of Pilgrim Genealogy & History. Some of the basic databases on the website that are invaluable for research in addition to the Silver Books include the following: Before you waste your time looking elsewhere, I would suggest obtaining a subscription to that website. The basic NEHGS resources are on their website. The actual record count will not be known until the indexing is completed, but more than 150,000 birth, marriage, death, and deed records in total are estimated.īefore you even dream of being a descendant of one of the Mayflower passengers, I would suggest that you become very familiar with the basic resources about the passengers and their descendants. Our preliminary calculations indicate that the index will have about 7,750 fifth generation descendants, along with their spouses and children. This database will involve 31 volumes of the “Silver Books” comprising about 11,800 relevant pages. NEHGS will also create indexes on content within the first fifty years of issues of the Mayflower Quarterly (1935 through 1984) for all article titles and names included in that publication and post images on. NEHGS will post images from the “Silver Books” for all fifth-generation descendants with a complete index including: birth, marriage, death, and deeds for these descendants, their spouses, and children on. Here is a quote from that link describing the vast database. The entire series is being digitized and indexed through a partnership between the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) and the General Society of Mayflower Descendants. Here is the real name of the Silver Books is the Mayflower Families Through Five Generations. The name of the books comes from their silver colored covers. 
The main genealogical source for researching a connection to one or more of the Mayflower passengers is a series of books called the “Silver Books” from the General Society of Mayflower Descendants. Digital copies of some of the original documents about the Mayflower passengers are available online from the State Library of Massachusetts. It is estimated that as many as 35 million people living today have ancestors from the above list. After a grueling 10 weeks at sea, the Mayflower, with 102 passengers and a crew of about 30, reached America, dropping anchor near the tip of Cape Cod on November 11, 1620. Mayflower was an English ship that transported the first English Puritans, known today as the Pilgrims, from England to the New World in 1620. Here is a very short summary of the voyage from Wikipedia: Mayflower.
