Membership Benefits
• Membership in the Minnesota Mayflower Society includes membership in the

• As a member, you would receive the newsletter from the Minnesota Society,
Minnesota Pilgrim News, three times a year providing historical articles as
well as State Society news.
• The Minnesota Society holds three open meetings annually for members and
their guests. The meetings include historical and educational speakers at
historical places.
• You will meet people who share similar ancestry and history with passengers of
the Mayflower, we call them “our cousins.”
• You will honor the memory of those forefathers who helped shape and inspire
our great democracy.
• Your genealogical record will be filed in a secure, climate controlled location with
both the Minnesota Society and the General Society in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
It will be available fifty, even a hundred years from now for your Descendants.
• You will be given a State and National number that will be on file with both
Societies, making it easier to probe future genealogical lines.
• Once approved, members receive a membership certificate, suitable for framing
which names their Mayflower ancestor.

Library, located at the General Society headquarters in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

bronze to be attached to grave stone.

ship can be easily transferred to your new state. This will allow you to meet new
people and assimilate into your new home with ease.
• You have fun while learning about your family history.
