Randy-
I like this feature of your posts. I'm sure it's a great way to review what you have on the person featured and update with any new info that may be out there to be able create the post.
I've seen several mentions about the upcoming Mayflower 400th anniversary and wondering if any of your New England ancestors tracked back to that ship. I have several lines that seem to go back pretty far in New England, but I've not yet traced far enough to understand if any of them are Mayflower descendants. Wondering if you are aware of any good Mayflower descendant sites that I could utilize to see if there's a connection with my folks. Perhaps some of your other followers may have a similar interest and it would be worth a post.
Thanks,
Bill Greggs
