WA Mayflower Society 100th Anniversary Celebration

It's our 100th Year and We're Celebrating!


On Sunday March 25th, 95 members and guests celebrated our 100th Anniversary at a special Annual Meeting held at the Tacoma Yacht Club, Tacoma, Washington.

Our honored guest was the new Governor-General of the General Society of Mayflower Descendants, Bruce Campbell MacGunnigle, who spoke about the history of the General Society, and provided brief biographies of four original Pilgrims.

The dinner was enhanced with a special "Centennial Cake", along with photos of members grouped by their ancestor. As usual, John Howland had the largest turnout.

Special thanks to the Hulls for providing the Society access to the beautiful location--and the delicious food. The weather cooperated nicely, and with the great location, a wonderful time was had by all. We look forward to another 100 years!


Welcome to our Site

The Mayflower carried passengers (along with crew) who were coming to a new country to start a new life. On our site you can find a listing of the known people who made the journey, including a brief Biography for each passenger and a searchable list of their early descendants.

Twenty-six male adult passengers are known to have left proven descendants, and they can be viewed in the "Eligibility & Passenger" section. In the section is detailed information to assist in the process of finding potential ancestors. Beginning January 1, 2010, all passengers, including children may be used to prove ancestry for the Mayflower Society. To learn more about Society Objectives, or to apply for membership, view the respective pages which can be accessed from links at the bottom of this page.
