National Society of Sons and Daughters of the Pilgrims

The National Society of Sons and Daughters of the Pilgrims is a hereditary organization founded in 1934 that recognizes individuals who can trace their ancestors back to the Pilgrims who settled Plymouth Colony in 1620. Its purpose is to preserve and honor the history and legacy of the Pilgrims, promote patriotic education, and foster a sense of family heritage. Membership is based on genealogical proof of descent from these early colonists. The society engages in historical awareness initiatives, commemorative events, and educational activities related to early American history.
