Researchers should also consult various published guides to the archival collections, the Research Notes series and online finding aids available through the Electronic Card Indexes. The Mayflower Passenger List is a complete passenger list for the Mayflower and is based on the passenger list made by William Bradford in his journal published under the title Of Plymouth Plantation . This list also includes subsequent research in primary source records in England and America to fill in names William Bradford did not give in full. The passengers are listed alphabetically by surname. Each head of household has a link, which will take you to biographical and genealogical information about that passenger and his family.
Files are updated weekly.
The Genealogical Database Index contains links to all known genealogical databases searchable through the Web. It is limited to searchable databases and does NOT include links to sites devoted to a family unless a database is available for searching. The site is maintained by Tim Doyle. The USGenWeb Archive was developed to present actual transcriptions of public domain records on the Internet. This huge undertaking is the cooperative effort of volunteers who either have electronically formatted files on census records, marriage bonds, wills, and other public documents, or are willing to contribute by transcribing this information.
