Navigating the Mayflower Silver Books: A Genealogist Guide: Virtual

Tens of millions of people are descended from a small group who crossed the ocean in 1620 on the Mayflower.

This presentation covers the history of the Silver Books project and provides you with the tools and knowledge to effectively use them in your genealogy work, particularly for researching the colonial period. The General Society of Mayflower Descendants publishes a series of 44 books called the Mayflower Families Silver Books, a compilation of colonial scholarship. These books trace early colonial settlers through multiple generations, offering a treasure trove of genealogy scholarship. Whether you are a seasoned genealogist or just starting, this presentation will equip you to unlock the full potential of the Silver Books, revealing lineages enriched by meticulous research and documented with original records and sources.
