[Not A Snowbird]

I am one piece of paper away from documenting my lineage back to six signers of the Mayflower Compact. Unfortunately, that one document is proving to be very elusive due to a fire in the 1890s that destroyed documents.

It sounds like a daunting task. I wish you luck for sure.

Keep at it. It took about a decade but my geneology lady found that William Bradford is one of my 9th great grandaddies. The other one is John Chandler at the Jamestown Colony. Can’t fling a dead cat without running into a 400 year old relative.

Good for you. I'm descended from four signers of the Mayflower Compact.

My ancestors were part of the Merchant Adventurers. None them were Pilgrims.

Where original source documentation has been destroyed, valid supportive documentation building a credible circumstantial case will usually be considered.
