Family Gathering

Family Gathering host Grant Nielsen is joined by Jason Harrison, Supervisor at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. They talk about Mayflower ancestry.  This was a difficult time period in American history.  Learning about the life of a Mayflower ancestor connects you to those struggles.   There were 102 passengers on the Mayflower when it arrived in New England.  Half of those died the first winter, but even still, around 35 million Americans can trace their family history to the Mayflower pilgrims.  You may consider joining the General Society of Mayflower Descendants.
