| preliminary application review:
NO Fee for a linage review query conducted by us to join the Iowa Mayflower
Society. There will be a fee if you submit a review directly to
the General Society of Mayflower Descendants instead of the Iowa Society. The application fee later
applies in either case. application fee: $175, which include the application fees; and the next calendar year Iowa and General Society dues after approval. This is paid after the preliminary application review is completed and when the full application is reviewed and submitted by the Iowa Historian to the General Society for final review and acceptance. It is non-refundable. supplemental applications: $125 per supplemental application. A previously approved member may submit another application for a different Mayflower passenger or different line of descent. These both called supplemental applications and full General Society certificates are given. The same approval process is needed. There are no additional dues. annual dues: $45 per year per person for 2023. Yearly dues are on a calendar year basis and always due before December 31st for the upcoming year. For example, a $5 re-instatement fee is charged if 2023 dues are paid after December 31st, 2022. Dues includes both General Society and Iowa Society dues. Everyone must be a member of a state society to be a member of the General Society Of Mayflower Descendants. General Society membership is automatic and included with state society membership. For new members, the remaining partial calendar year after GSMD approval and the next full calendar year of membership are included in the application fee.
