Mayflower Vital Records, Deeds and Wills, 1600s-1900s


Now you can search "the largest documented manuscript resource on Mayflower genealogy," according to the Massachusetts Society of Mayflower Descendants. During 50 years of tracing the celebrated Mayflower pilgrims and their families, researcher George Ernest Bowman amassed over 20,000 pages of documented records. Eventually, Susan E. Roser compiled the "Bowman Files" into five Genealogical Publishing Company books.

Almost 82,000 individuals are referenced, covering four centuries of Mayflower genealogical and historical information (1600s-1900s).
