Thanks to Dale for answering this question in detail. This might also be a good opportunity to draw the attention of any new list members to the URL at the bottom of the original message. Craig Rich and others have provided an excellent FAQ page which answers this and many other "frequently asked questions." Many of these questions are questions I for one hadn't yet realized I would want to ask--in other words, there are many great leads to sources and methods there. ***-----Original Message----- ***From: Dotuw1@aol.com [mailto:Dotuw1@aol.com] ***Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2002 2:18 AM ***To: MAYFLOWER-L@rootsweb.com ***Subject: [MFLR] MF *** *** ***Could someone please tell when a reference is given for a Mayflower ***descendant as "MF 11:1:5,9......
