    This subject is truly fascinating and is presented so beautifully! The syllabus is thoughtfully written and includes plenty of helpful links. I can’t wait to watch it again soon to catch anything I might have missed during the original airing.

    Absolutely excellent presentation. Ms. Mucia gave us an incredible amount of information pertaining to the Mayflower Families Silver Books; information that was not ‘read-along’, but presented as back-stories and information. Rarely to I rate a presentation a 5, but this presentation rates a 5+. I am really looking forward to September when Ms. Mucia gives us another presentation. I wish other presenters would take a lesson from her in the way webinars should be presented.

    Very interesting. I have proved my descendancy from John Howland and can prove to three others. I am impressed that my local library’s Special Collections has the full set.

    Very informative. I do not have any relatives that I know of that were connected to the Mayflower but I know where to look should I find any connection later on.

    Excellent detailed overview of the Silver Books re the Mayflower descendants! I learned some very helpful information about the ongoing changes of the descendants. My ex-husband’s mother’s line goes back to William WHITE & Susanna JACKSON, from Scrooby Manor, Nottinghamshire to Plymouth. Challenging times when so many died that first year, and widows and widowers married.
