Member of the General Society of Mayflower Descendants and the Society of Mayflower Descendants in the State of Arizona NEW - The Haldane Genealogical DNA Project is underway. Check it out: http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Haldane/ In 2003 I published a 500 page book: "By God's Grace, A Jordan Family History" with several complete and well-documented genealogy reports, over 50 images dating to 1864, and memoirs from 1880-1960. The families from the Bangor, Maine area featured in the book include: Jordan, Gatchell, Smith, Delano, and more. Email me for more information. Only 6 books left! PLEASE NOTE: Since Genealogy.com now requires that I allow them the right to sell my data simply by posting it on this web site, I will no longer document anything posted to this site. I will also not include in-line notes and related data - all you get here are names and dates. If you find a match, contact me for further information such as individual notes, marriage notes, medical notes, sources of material, etc. I will not simply give away to genealogy.com or ancestry.com the research I have spent 30 years and tens of thousands of dollars to accumulate so that they can sell it at a profit. My Bibliography is available as a separate report (see below) so you can see some of the many sources I have used to document my data. To get a copy of my HUGE database with all in-line notes, all documentation, all names and all dates, contact me by email. Included in this data are several Mayflower families and some other names you may recognize: Eleven of the 102 Mayflower passengers are my direct ancestors: Henry Samson (11th great-grandfather) Stephen Hopkins and his wife, Mary (11th great-grandparents) Constance Hopkins (their daughter and my 10th great-grandmother) John Alden (11th great-grandfather and 12th great-grandfather) Joseph Mullins (12th great-grandfather) Alice Mullins (12th great-grandmother) Priscilla Mullins (11th great-grandmother) Edward Doty (11th great-grandfather) William Brewster (11th great-grandfather) Miles Standish (12th great-grandfather) Presidential cousins: John Adams - The 2nd President (3rd cousin) Abigail Smith - wife of John Adams and mother of John Quincy Adams (3rd cousin) John Quincy Adams - the 6th President (4th cousin 3 different ways) Zachary Taylor - the 12th President (5th cousin) Ulysses S.
