IOWA SOCIETY OF MAYFLOWER DESCENDANTS
WELCOME
We honor the memory of courage and community demonstrated by the Pilgrim passengers who arrived on the Mayflower in 1620. The Iowa Society of Mayflower Descendants is a non-profit lineage society dedicated to preserving the history of our Mayflower ancestors through education and research. Members of the Iowa Society of Mayflower Descendants have documented direct descent from a passenger who bravely crossed the Atlantic in the Mayflower in 1620.
Our State Society is affiliated with the General Society of Mayflower
Descendants with headquarters in Plymouth, Massachusetts. There are now
54 Member Societies throughout the world representing all 50 states, the
District of Columbia, Canada, Europe, and Australia. The Member Societies are
dedicated to commemorating the spirit of survival and endurance exhibited by
our Pilgrim ancestors.
Anyone 18 years or older is eligible to join our society if you can provide
documentation demonstrating that you are a direct descendant of a passenger
who sailed to New England on the Mayflower in 1620.
