With the Thanksgiving holiday just around the corner, our thoughts turn to the courageous pilgrims who suffered the long Mayflower journey to begin a new life. Can you trace your family roots to the heritage of the Mayflower? Would you have made the Mayflower journey if you had the chance?

hi sender621 one of my many great greats John Ladd the immigrant came from England to america in 1400 something but I do not know what ship he came on at all. I do know that his wife was named Bathsheba Lovett and she was just 15, and had already almost been hung for a witch but some local big shot there saved her from being hung. I do so love doing genealogy so much. have learned a lot about my past forbears. Way way back I found some information showing that some woman on my moms side married a man on my dad's side of the family tree. very interesting stuff indeed.

I have no idea but I doubt it. I only know my roots back to the late 19th Century. I'm still 2 centuries off from the Mayflower. I don't know if I would have back then. It really depends on what my religious beliefs would have been at the time.
