Roll Calls are a regular feature of family history sites.
With the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the Mayflower coming up soon in 2020, let’s compare notes and see who your Mayflower ancestors are.
Families have written about their Pilgrim ancestors for hundreds of years and their stories have been recorded in America’s newspapers.
Here are just a few of the thousands of Mayflower cousins that I have found in GenealogyBank’s Historical Newspaper Archives. We’ve included the name of the newspaper and the exact page where you can find an article about that cousin.
Please add your Mayflower lineage here and help us build a more complete record of all of the descendants of the Mayflower passengers.

I’ve been told that my grandfather’s family came over on the Mayflower. Their name is Dalby. The spelling was changed over the years in the U.S. to Dalbey. I check your list daily looking for the name. Looking forward to more listings.
Hi Renee –
What was your grandfather’s name?
Do you have your family tree online – if so, on which of the online family tree websites?
Tom
His name was Charles G. Dalbey. I was told that in England the name was spelled Dalby. The spelling was changed over the generations. No, I don’t have an online family tree. I do have a family tree my mother gave me. It’s a mess, lots of letters & notes in envelopes. I just haven’t had the time or space to put them in any kind of order.
Renee,
Thank you for his name.
Could you send me some additional information about him?
When/where was he born?
When/where did he die?
Do you have additional information about him?
Parent’s names?
Names of spouse? Children?
With more details I can more easily look into this for you.
Tom
