DAR - and the papers to gather back in the 60s were wicked hard to get together...now a days, it would be a snap.

I was lucky when I joined Mayflower Descendants because my aunt was a member and had already done the hard work. All I had to do was get birth certificates and marriage certificates proving that (1) I was my mother’s daughter, (2) my aunt was my mother’s sister, (3) Mom married and changed her name, and (4) that Mom and Aunt had the same descendant parent.
I’ve heard that it’s actually more difficult to join either society now because it’s so much easier to “phony up” docs that look real. IDK for sure.
