I recently found a family genealogy report in the public library with a well written history with many details including that they were Mayflower descendents. But I had a list of Mayflower descendents with a brief history of them. I compared and they didn't match. Their ancestor died without marrying or having children. I don't believe this was a deception by the family, but believe they were a victim of fraud. For your list of Mayflower descendents go to: http://members.aol.com/calebj/passenger.html Then go to: A transcription of Bradford's original passenger list can be viewed here. My daughter recently forwarded me a message about fraudulent lineages. America's First Families has a page devoted to this, giving the surnames and authors of the publications. http://www.linkline.com/personal/xymox/ then go to FRAUDULENT LINEAGES I hope this information will be of benefit.
