Plimoth & Patuxet Ancestors
Researching your family’s history is fun and rewarding. The rich genealogical and biographical Plymouth Ancestors resources will help you discover exciting details about your family in the 17th century.
Or if you have visited the 17th-Century English Village or Mayflower II and have become fascinated by one of the Colonists, you will find information about his or her life after 1627.
The profiles and essays about children are great tools for classroom teachers, and can enhance student research on the First Thanksgiving when used in partnership with You are the Historian at the Museum's online learning center.
