I I m . FOR twenty years the Ed itor h as been compiling . fro or iginal records " h , The M ayflower Genealogies , in whic it is pl anned to incl ude as far as

all c P a . possible , proved des endants of the M ayflower ssengers Lack o f funds has made progress very slow ; but numerous impo rtant dis cov e ries have been made , which have opened up hitherto unknown lines of descent from M ayflower Passengers ; and a l a rge nu mber of false cl aims of

M ayflower descent have be en expo sed . O f the hund reds o f cl aims of descent approved by the M assachusetts So~ the - 1 O f e r clety , in past twenty years . only about one twentieth ( 9 3 ) one p cent have later been found inco rrect , and the correction . in every case . has been the ' result of the Soci ety s researches .

The system developed by the Ed itor for collecting . reco rding and indexing “ " the data fo r The M ayflower Genealogies saves a great amount of u nneces sa ry duplication of effort and consequent waste of mone y . Some idea of the great saving resulting from the compilation of the gene - m alogies of a ll of the twenty two M ayflower fa ilies under one control . ma y be gained from the statement that any one attempting to compile a genealogy

a ll m of descend ants of Myles Standish , fo r instance , ust incl ude in the work a large fraction of the descendants of John A lden and many d escendants of

Edward Doty . There a re at least seventy other instances of child ren and grandchild ren of the M ayflower Passengers marrying ; and the unions in later generations - m . I f two f a re ve ry nu erous . therefo re , twenty dif erent persons undertook to collect the descendants of the M ayflower Passengers . each person wo rking m m independently on a di fferent M ayflower fa ily , the waste of ti e and money . m not to ention the wea r and tear on the old records , would be eno rmous . Liberal cash gi fts to pay the expense of futu re researches a re greatly m needed . Re itt ances should be made payable to the Society : an d commu niea

be tions about the wo rk should add ressed to the Edito r .

12 GEN EA LOGICAL RESEARCH

FOR some years a l arge proportion of the expense of the M assachusetts Society ’ s research work has been defrayed by fees for genealogical investiga - tions made in behal f of members and non members . Every such investigation adds valuable material to the Society ’ s collection “ " of data for The M ayflower Genealogies , and the person who pays for a ’ search has the adv antage not only of the Society s unequ alled accumul ation of ’ material ( much of which has been card indexed ) , but also of the Edito r s m m Old fa iliarity with the records and the fa ilies o f the Colony territo ry . All fees for investigations are added to the M assachusetts Society ’ s Colo nial Research Account , and are used exclusively in extending its work of iden tif in m m y g the descendants , in all lines , both ale and fe ale , of all the M ayflower

Passengers . Unrestricted gifts of money for research work are especially needed ; but m m gifts , or p ay ents , to be used in solving specific proble s , or in copying for publication interesting wills and inventories , conveyances of l and , etc . , relating

m m e to the ancestors of the person supplying the oney , will be of uch assistanc The Society al ready owns thousands of abstracts of wills ; deeds ; cou rt

Of m records ; town records births , arriages and deaths ; chu rch records of bap tisms m , arriages and deaths ; gravestone records ; bible records ; etc . , nowhere to be found in print . m It has also , in The M ayflower Genealogies , any lines of M ayflower descent that have never been published . All remittances should be made payable to the Society ; and communications should be add ressed to the Editor .
