What fun. I am honored to have been asked by the San Diego Genealogical Society to prepare a presentation about the Mayflower Society. They asked my good friend and fellow blogger Debby Warner Anderson and I if we would prepare a presentation together about our experiences in applying for and joining the Mayflower Society
What could be better than working with a good friend? Debby and I have presented together one other time, on a much smaller scale.
The presentation took place last Saturday, July 11 at 10 a.m. pacific time. Since our society isn’t meeting in person right now, we presented via Zoom.
I have attended webinars and church services via Zoom, but never been a presenter using this venue. I’ve done quite a few classes in person, so this was a new experience. However, since Debby has had to use Zoom for her work, she was quite comfortable with it. (Side note – she retired on July 1st – Congratuations to her!)
The topic for our presentation was:
The Mayflower Society
Have you ever wondered what the Mayflower Society is all about? How to find your Mayflower passenger ancestor, the application process, the events, the costumes? This presentation will take you on our journeys as we researched, applied and hoped to become members of this unique group of men and women in order to help preserve their heritage and history.
We received a lot of positive feedback. The attendees asked some very good questions.
Debby and I had a great time working together. I hope we’ll be invited to speak again on this subject, perhaps by another genealogy society.
I am not able to put a link to our presentation here on my blog. It is in the members only section of the San Diego Genealogical Society's website.
Here though, is a list of the resources that Debby and I included with our presentation. The links won't be live, but you could download this list and enter the links manually. Usually sites pop up pretty quickly without you having to type the entire URL.
Here is a link to upcoming presentations sponsored by SDGS. There are some good ones coming up. All are free and most are for anyone, whether a member or not.

Happy hunting,
