It is through Constance and Nicholas Snow's son Mark that we part in the lineage. Mine is like this: Mark Snow m Anna Cooke their daughter Anna Snow m Eldad Atwood their daughter m Anna Atwood m William Nickerson their son Eldad Nickerson m Mary Cahoon. All of the above is documented by the Mayflower Assoc. I have to come up with document proof from Eldad Nickerson and Mary Cahoon's daughter Naomi Nickerson m Robert Spears on down to myself. The Spears moved from Shelburne to Whitehead. Have you gone to the Mayflower Association on the internet? They give you a lot of information. Yes to your question on what is already documented you don't have to prove. My job is cut out for me trying to prove and get documents for my Canadian family.
