Society of Mayflower Descendants in the State of Kansas

Our Society strives to tell the story of our Pilgrim ancestor’s voyage to the New World in 1620. We are thankful for their perseverance, steadfastness and bravery. Their signing of the Mayflower Compact at Cape Cod on November 11, 1620 is historic. The Mayflower Compact was drafted and signed aboard the ship and was the first document to establish self-government in the New World.

Governor Karen K. Weis

Proven lineal descent from at least one of the 102 passengers who sailed on the Mayflower has given us the opportunity to become members of the Society of Mayflower Descendants in the State of Kansas which was Chartered in 1914. May we Kansas members prove ourselves worthy to the legacy of these Pilgrims.
