The General Society of Mayflower Descendants is made up of 53 member societies. There is a member society for each of the 50 states, one for Washington D.C., one for Canada, and one for Europe. Prospective members are required to apply through the member society.
Thankfully, the GSMD keeps a list of member society contact information. You can access that list here: https://www.themayflowersociety.org/join/contact-your-member-society.
Things to know before contacting the local society:
- You should know your likely Mayflower line. GSMD does not have the resources to find a pilgrim for you.
- The amount of help available to complete your application will vary by the society. In most cases, you’ll be expected to provide at least the birth, death, and marriage certificates for the recent generations. In most cases, you’ll be expected to provide any information not already on file.
- The GSMD will not to do your application for you. If you are unable to do it yourself, it may be time to consider professional help.
