As a member of the General Mayflower Society and the Washington State Mayflower Society you
can purchase Mayflower Insignia items that can be worn to meetings containing your state of
membership and your ancestor's names (in some cases husband & wife), or jewelry that can be worn
at any time as ring, necklace, lapel pins and charms for a bracelet. There are other items with
Mayflower Insignia such as clocks, glass ornaments, silk ties and a scarf. All of these items
may be purchased from
General Mayflower Society but may only be purchased and worn by Mayflower members.
In addition, if you join the Washington Mayflower Society, you will
be honoring the memory of those forefathers who helped set the pattern for our great
democracy, and you will enter into the fellowship of people who share a common history
and ancestry in the passengers of the Mayflower.
Through the programs of this Society, the common history can be made to come alive for you.
And if you choose to personally participate in the Society's programs (education
of school-age children, for example), you can help make that history come
alive for others.
In joining the Mayflower Society, your genealogical record will be filed
in a secure place, both with the Washington Society and with the General Society
in Plymouth, Massachusetts. This will be an invaluable gift to your descendants
to have your records on file with the Society and this will make your family heritage
available to future generations and assist them in the establishing of their genealogical
lines.
Another ever last benefit of membership in the Mayflower Society is the beautiful
Mayflower emblem that is designed to be place on a Mayflower members grave stone.
In many years in the future when your great great grandchild visits your grave, they
find this Mayflower Emblem and then know that they also have Mayflower Ancestors.
What a great gift to your future generations that may never know.
