Research ...
The following resources will help you in your search to document your Mayflower line:
FamilySearch.org is similar to Ancestry.com in that it contains "billions" of genealogy records.
Family Search offers much of what Ancestry.com offers, for free.
Ancestry.com is easily the more recognizable and data rich genealogy website of the two.
It does however require a fee.
The Mayflower Society Silver Books document the first five generations of most Mayflower families.
These books are available for purchase. The Silver Books are also available for checkout through most libraries, for free.
AmericanAncestors.org is giving all authenticated Mayflower Members a discount on their annual membership fee. Mayflower Members will pay $85.46 as opposed to $99.95. This fee will grant you access to “the world’s largest online database of authenticated Mayflower passenger genealogies.”
Once you’ve created an account go to AmericanAncestors.org click on Signature Projects – Beyond Mayflower 2020 – Search Now
At this point you’ve entered the database. “This database includes all applications and supplemental applications to the General Society of Mayflower Descendants starting from their founding in 1897, including only applicants who were born before January 1, 1920.” The information should make it infinitely easier to complete your research on a supplemental line or assist a friend or relative with their application.

The Mayflower Society website contains many helpful links. One page you should be sure to visit is the Genealogy Tips & Tools page. This lists multiple websites that may aid you in your research.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) have Family History Centers in many of their Wards (Churches). You do not have to be a Mormon to use their facilities. The Mormon Church is responsible for perhaps the greatest collection of genealogical material in the world. Click here then enter your zip code to locate a Family History Center near you.
While it may seem a bit macabre, Find A Grave can be a great source of information. As stated before, headstones are an accepted form of genealogical documentation with the Mayflower Society.
Your local library is also a great resource.
