For vital records of southeastern Massachusetts,
including Plymouth Colony and Cape Cod--most not included in the old
series to 1850, we offer on microfiches those printed in the first 34
volumes of the Mayflower Descendant.
Additionally, you will find in the Mayflower
Descendant cemetery and church records for towns in the Plymouth
vicinity and Cape Cod; as well as wills, probates, and estate
inventories for many who died in that area--regardless of which ship
they sailed to America.
Further, the Mayflower Descendant contains
autographs, Bible records, depositions, diaries, indentures, and lists
of Plymouth people in 1623 & 1627, along with many other documents;
e.g., marriage records from the archives of Amsterdam and Leyden,
Holland.

This index arranges names and documents topically,
with references to every volume and page where they appear. In fact, the
index cites under every family name in the Mayflower Descendant (MD),
all associated articles. To name just a few, the index locates: nineteen
articles about the Brewster family, five about Francis Cooke, six about
Isaac Allerton, and twenty about the William White family.
Additionally, this fiche identifies, in one place,
all Mayflower passengers, along with each one's age in 1620 and at
death. An essay and accompanying tables give an overview of selected
passengers, together with the documents that illuminate them. With these
tables, you can separate the Leiden passengers from the London
passengers. Also, you can learn the names of the eighteen married
couples, the ten married men sailing without their wives, the
twenty-three single men, the sixteen servants--and the families who
brought them, the three pregnant women, and the seven passengers who
returned to England.
