Welcome to
The First Ships Discussion List Homepage
A mailing list for anyone who has an interest in genealogy or history regarding
ancestors who came to New England on the First Ships, their lives, the reasons they came
here, their ancestors and descendants, as well as those spouses who
married into these families. The First Ships include The Mayflower, The Fortune,
The Anne, The Little James and certain other early ships that brought passengers
associated with those now known as pilgrims.
The people of the First Ships are defined as all those who were once known as "Old Comers"
or "First Comers" or "Old Planters" and are now known as "Pilgrims".
Suggested areas of discussion include family data, migration patterns, immigration, ship passenger lists, heraldry, historical sketches, family settlements, census data, wills, inventory lists, family Bibles, gravestone inscriptions, DNA studies, vital records, web sites and other online resources, family reunion plans and announcements, genealogical libraries and archives, etc. as relates to people of the First Ships and collateral families.
I established The First Ships Discussion List at
YahooGroups in 2003.
