My Mayflower Lines - 2 of them anyway

So, I've named this blog, MY MAYFLOWER LINE, but I've never posted a synopsis of my lines.  Here are two of them.

My mother and father about 1935

So you see that both of these go through my father's mother's family - the Dexters.  I have yet to prove a line to the Mayflower through my mother's line.  However, there could be connections to Jamestown and the settlements that followed in Virgina and further south, as early as or earlier than the Pilgrims in the Mayflower.  

You will find that most people who can trace a line back to the Mayflower will discover more than one line.  This is not surprising when you figure that the early settlements were quite small and there was a lot of their offspring who married into the same families (brothers married sisters, etc).
