BoatFolks. A mailing list for the discussion and sharing of information regarding the ancestors and descendents of immigrants arriving in the United States prior to 1700. While the list will initially focus on the Mayflower families, all researchers whose ancestors arrived prior to 1700 are welcome. In addition, those who trace their Native American roots back to that time period are welcome ... the Native nations met our boats so it is appropriate that their lines be discussed in connection with the immigrants.
