Sail1620.org is designed to be a fun as well as educational road map to this corner of 17th century history. Within the pages of this website we have tried to provided you with useful information, not just about our state society, but also a clear and factual reference to the lives and history of the Pilgrim Forefathers, the Plymouth Colony, and their ship the Mayflower.

DNA SEMINAR
Speaker: DARREN MARIN

Date: Saturday, 6 September 2008
Time: 1:30 - 4:00 p.m.
Place: Plymouth, Mass. in the Radisson Hotel Ballroom
Program: DNA & GENEALOGY

The DNA Committee invite and encourage Plymouth area people to attend this debut of structured education. We believe the program is ideal in showing how DNA and Genealogy can work together in eliminating many of our “stone walls.” We trust that members of the Plymouth area genealogical societies and others will appreciate this opportunity without having to travel far from home. We hope to see a large turnout and are excited about this new program.

The seminar is being supported by private donations. There is no fee and you do not need to be a Mayflower member. In order to determine attendance, the committee does request that people pre-register.

To pre-register: by Email: MFSDNA@gmail.com
or by regular mail: DNA Seminar; P.O. Box 588; Sunol, CA. 94586

Since early 2007 our speaker Darren Marin has been with Family Tree DNA which is associated with the Arizona Research Labs, one of the world’s leading authorities in the field of Y-DNA genetics. He is a California native who graduated from the University of Houston with a Degree in Italian Studies. Darren’s interest in his own family roots helped draw him to Family Tree DNA where he has become a favorite speaker.

Sponsored by the DNA Committee of the General Society of Mayflower Descendants.

"Here is a stone which the feet of a few outcasts pressed for an instant; and
the stone becomes famous; it is
treasured by a great nation; its
very dust is shared as a relic."
