My Mayflower Relatives
It has come to my attention that some of the names are missing. I will fix that as soon as I can!
I think any one of us living today can be thankful for our Pilgrim Relatives, the passengers of the first sail of the infamous Mayflower in Autumn of 1620. After all, without them, we would not be here at all!
How many generations connect you with the original sailing of the Mayflower? Below I will share my different connections.

I believe I have a few more variations of connections, but this is what I have charted out right now.
The Mayflower Compact was a document of a list of rules and temporary government that was created and signed by the men on the Mayflower before heading ashore and settling. Since the original destination was supposed to be Virginia, where there already were laws and a government, they would need something to keep the order in this secluded land on which they were about to settle. To me, it is kind of like a Declaration of Independence. You want your ancestors to have signed this important piece of paper.
