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.

Henry Bagwell of Jamestowne was a shipping merchant. His last voyage back to the New World was on the Mayflower. I have a double connection to the two most famous migrations. (More proud of Jamestowne, though, because it was first.)
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Did you know he wasn’t the only one aboard the Mayflower to have come to America before 1620?
Pilgrim Stephen Hopkins was shipwrecked and lived on the island of Bermuda for over a year, from 1609 to 1610.
