WHAT IS A JUNIOR MEMBER?

The Constitution of our Society, Article III, Section 6 - A member in good standing in any State Society may make an application for Junior Membership in behalf of any person under eighteen years of age who has a Prima Facie proven lineage.

A Junior Membership in the Society of Mayflower Descendants makes our children aware of their Mayflower Heritage and it will make them proud to be a descendant of a Mayflower passenger.  It gives us a chance to let the Junion Member know that we care about our Heritage and will support this memory in every way we can.

You as the Sponsor, fill out the application and pay the fee (fee may vary from state to state).  The statement of the Sponsor's lineage is honored, there is no documentation required.

Our intent is to make it easy for our descendants to join the Society in the future.  We give all Juniors a simple book containing our Mayflower History along with all the necessary documentation for joining the Society on their eighteenth birthday.   This can include his own history and family stories.

It is not intended that a Junior Membership be the equivalent of a Full Membership in our Society or that it takes away from the importance or significance of it.   If you want a Full Membership for your Junior, give him a Junior Life Membership.

Thank You
