Happy Thanksgiving! I am spending it in Florida, following presentations and speeches I gave in Mobile, Naples, and Fort Lauderdale. Several new Mayflower discoveries are in the publication pipeline, so stay tuned!

We discovered the origins and parentage of Mayflower passenger Elizabeth Barker and more records of her family/activities at Chattisham. Our article in NEHGR (winter 2019 issue). During that research we also discovered Isaac Allerton's parents in East Bergholt ... details soon.

I am pleased to announce that our findings on the English origins of Mayflower passenger Isaac Allerton have been published. Find them in New England Historical and Genealogical Register 173(Summer 2019):197-205. Son of Bartholomew and Mary Allerton of East Bergholt, Suffolk.

I will be speaking at an NEHGS conference in Boston on September 14: "New Discoveries in Mayflower Genealogy", along with Simon Neal, Sue Allan, Robert C. Anderson and Christopher Child. If interested, here are the event details: my.americanancestors.org/single/eventDe…

"Wednesday the sixth of September, the wind coming east northeast, a fine small gale, we loosed from Plymouth, having been kindly entertained and courteously used by divers friends there dwelling ..." And so 400 years ago today (adj for 10 day calendar diff) the crossing began.

I will be giving a brief presentation at the Mayflower 400th Anniversary Constitution Week conference, streaming on YouTube today. Before me will be Nathaniel Philbrick and Nick Bunker, among others. You can watch online here: uvu.edu/ccs/mayflower/
