I wanted to check a link prior to posting it. There is a complete passenger list of everyone who was on the first three boats to Plymouth, the Mayflower, the Fortune, and the Anne at the link I just gave.

A very high percentage - if not all - of the genealogies for each of these passengers is available, up to about 1730 (?) or 8 generations. I guess they figure that you're on your own after that!

This may sound crazy, but I have very fond memories of our first mixer with Delta Tau Delta. It was the first we had for years prior to my joining Alpha Delta Pi. Anyhow, I started talking to one Delt, whose girlfriend I knew, and it turned out that we were both interested in genealogy. In fact, he is a direct descendant of Edward Winslow (Mayflower). While everyone else was dancing and generally doing the mixer thing, Win & I were getting comparing genealogical notes! Do I have to tell you that both of us took a lot of teasing afterwards?
