You can read the new policy in its enrety on the GSMD website in the members only secon. The gist of it is that DNA analysis for genealogy is in its infancy and as such the policy will connue to evolve over me. For now, the DNA commiee has recommended that autosomal and mitochondrial DNA not be accepted as part of Mayflower lineage applicaons as the technology is just not advanced enough. However, Y‐DNA which is passed from father to son, can be used to leapfrog a generaon or so when the paper trail has failed. There are very specific criteria on whose DNA can be tested, how many generaons can be involved, and how perfect the marker match has to be. Y‐DNA is just one more tool we can use to prove a lineage and cannot replace good, solid research. But when that research leaves insurmountable gaps, Y‐DNA can be really helpful. Y‐DNA tesng can be purchased at FamilyTreeDNA.com. In Ohio, we have successfully used Y‐DNA for two different families. If you or someone you know is thinking about adding Y‐DNA to an applicaon, please read the policy and then contact me to review the process. The new member list on the next page and the list of approved supplementals should let you know what Lee and I have been doing for the last few months! As he says below, we expect the upsurge in applicaons to connue! Assistant Historian Report Lee Martin Historian Ann Gulbransen and I aended the Historians meeng that was part of the GSMD meeng in Indianapolis in September 2016. Here are a few highlights. The Historians training meeng re‐visited some old procedures with new ways to beer document lineage papers. For example, mulple marriages documented in the papers are included to track name changes for the women. In addion, mulple marriages documented for the males may or may not show further possible Mayflower lines of the other spouse; thereby, the addion of further potenal supplemental applicaons will greatly improve documentaon and speed up processing me, for the most part. Another inclusion on doing applicaon involved adding parents of the spouse if possible. The intent of the Historian General is to have the most completely, accurately, and yet, concisely documented lineage papers. The discussions became lively, but interesng to come up with ways to beer document and beer share resources to help bring in new members. With 2020 coming up, both Mar Bobertz and Midge Hurtuk, Historian General emphasized the need to streamline the process because of an expected large upsurge in the number of applicaons in ancipaon of the 400th anniversary. In fact, both Mar and Midge stated the upsurge has happened already and will connue.

  • Girls on the Mayflower
    Girls on the Mayflower http://members.aol.com/calebj/girls.html (out of circulation; see: https://www.prettytough.com/girls-on-the-mayflower/ http://mayflowerhistory.com/girls https://itchyfish.com/oceanus-hopkins-the-child-born-aboard-the-mayflower/ ) While much attention is focused on the men who came on the Mayflower, few people realize and take note that there were eleven girls on board, ranging in ages from less than a year old up to about sixteen or seventeen. William Bradford wrote that one of the Pilgrim's primary concerns was that the "weak bodies" of the women and girls would not be able to handle such a long voyage at sea, and the harsh life involved in establishing a new colony. For this reason, many girls were left behind, to be sent for later after the Colony had been established. Some of the daughters left behind include Fear Brewster (age 14), Mary Warren (10), Anna Warren (8), Sarah Warren (6), Elizabeth Warren (4), Abigail Warren (2), Jane Cooke (8), Hester Cooke (1), Mary Priest (7), Sarah Priest (5), and Elizabeth and Margaret Rogers. As it would turn out however, the girls had the strongest bodies of them all. No girls died on the Mayflower's voyage, but one man and one boy did. And the terrible first winter, twenty-five men (50%) and eight boys (36%) got sick and died, compared to only two girls (16%). So who were these girls? One of them was under the age of one, named Humility Cooper. Her father had died, and her mother was unable to support her; so she was sent with her aunt and uncle on the Mayflower.

  • Children on the Mayflower
    PILGRIM HALL MUSEUM America’s Oldest Continuous Museum – Located in Historic Plymouth Massachusetts www.pilgrimhallmuseum.org CHILDREN ON THE MAYFLOWER How many children were on the Mayflower? This seems like an easy question but it is hard to answer! Let’s say we wanted to count every passenger on the ship who was 18 years of age or younger. To figure out how old a person was in 1620, when the Mayflower voyage took place, you would need to know their date of birth. In some cases, though, there just isn’t enough information! On this list, we’ve included passengers who were probably or possibly age 18 or less. Some children were traveling with their families. Others came over as servants or apprentices. Still others were wards, or children in the care of guardians. There are 35 young people on the list. Some of them may have been very close to adulthood, like the servant Dorothy (last name unknown), who was married in the early years of Plymouth Colony. The list also includes Will Butten. He was a youth who died during the voyage and never arrived to see land. This list includes very young children and even some babies! Oceanus Hopkins was born during the Mayflower’s voyage across the Atlantic. The baby was given his unusual name as a result. Another boy, Peregrine White, was born aboard the ship while it was anchored at Cape Cod harbor - his name means traveler or “pilgrim.” A good source for more information on Mayflower passengers is Caleb Johnson’s http://mayflowerhistory.com/mayflower- passenger-list.
