And a friend of mine with the surname Alden is a direct descendant of the John Alden who was on the Mayflower. He has a couple relics like primitive silverware and cookware that have been passed down through family as relics from the Mayflower.

Thanks. Neat stuff!!!
I have done genealogy for the past 25 years or so. Lots of work, but the skills I learned come in handy from time to time!
