I'm also a descendant of Richard & Elizabeth (Ingraham) Bullock of Rehoboth. The membership requirements are pretty clear--there has to be a direct line of descent, i. e. a "blood line", to the Mayflower passenger. We have no direct line from Richard's 2nd wife Elizabeth Billington or her ancestors. (I guess you could call her a "step-grandmother".) Yes, the descendants of Richard & Elizabeth (Billington) Bullock are "blood relatives", but Elizabeth isn't. The same requirement would apply to step-children of a Mayflower descendant--they don't qualify through the step-parent's line.
