Bill: I am a few days away from another visit to Plymouth. I will check oput your request however, It would come as a surprise to me and I am sure to many others to learn of a Mayflower scheme to accept dna evidence in lieu of hard copy lineage documentation. There are several individual Mayflower family groups managing dna projects of their own but no Society of Mayflower Descendants dna project or acceptance policy that I know of. I am a project mmanager for a family dna project. I have three Mayflower family lines, all Mayflower mtdna gained by marriages where Mayflower ladies married into the Crippen family Y chromosome. How would one apply for membership when descending from one of the Mayflower daughters ? Dna is irrefutable evidence for establishing the male Y line carrier but not too valuable for identifying the daughters, their marriages and their children. If you learn of a S O M D dna acceptance plan, please advise.
