Membership

The Society of Mayflower Descendants in Michigan invites you to join us!

How do I get started?

Complete the Preliminary Application form and Proposed Line of Descent form from the links below. Send these along with the required fees and documentation to Lee Bennett of our Historian Team. Lee's address is on the Preliminary Application form.

The new GSMD guidelines require that all supporting records and other documentation be submitted as separate jpg files. If you do not have the ability to provide them in this format, please contact Deputy Historian, Lee Bennett, who will assist you with an alternative solution.

Lee Bennett will guide you through the membership application process. For more detailed information click on the links below:
