Are You A Mayflower Descendant?

We come from 'like' backgrounds Lon, my ancestors left the east & came west via Ohio, Missouri & Illinois to escape cultural bias, religious persecution & the right to govern ourselves & takeover the lands that were populated by native inhabitants who opened their arms with little or no concern that we're going to be a blight on their lands. I disowned my membership & asked that my name be removed from the rolls when it became apparent that we were not very nice & had taken advantage of their hospitality.

No, but I am a St. Andrew Gally descendant, of the original immigrant :

Michael Braun (or Brown), frontiersman, master builder, and entrepreneur, is said to have been born in Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany. He stepped upon American soil at the port of Philadelphia 26 Sept. 1737, alighting from the ship St. Andrew Gally

I did genealogical research for several years, at one point I hired a professional genealogist(who was also a distant relative)to provide some documentation for research on my paternal g.grandfather, who was orphaned at age 3. The piece in the Link above was done by the same genealogist.

Here you go Lon...you may be interested in this project that is taking place in my home town, the house that Captain Christopher Jones was born in is still standing....they hope to have the replica of the Mayflower built and ready to sail to America using the same route as the original on the 400th anniversary of the original sailing which will be 2020.

There is a video to click onto also photos which are better if you enlarge them......
