Proof Documents for The Sons and Daughters of the Pilgrims by Denis James Winsness and Roberta Westergart Heorman January, 2007
Acknowledgement: Years of research and thousands of miles of travel had led me back to the grave of my GGG grandfather Harvey Shaw, in DeKalb County Illinois. A misplaced query on a website in the wrong state happened to be found by Roberta Heorman who replied that the information for Harvey Shaw was in Illinois as he was also her ancestor. Emails continued that evening between Roberta and myself and ended with her sending me my full lineage from Harvey Shaw back through the Massachusetts Bay Colony to England. Without that gift, and her constant assistance since then, this document would never have existed. Her friendship and assistance are incredibly appreciated! Organization: Each section of the document refers to the line item in the application for membership to The Sons and Daughters of the Pilgrims. The Family Group Record for the family indicates the son or daughter in the lineage with a star, and the parent identified with a star continues the lineage towards Thomas Richardson, Pilgrim from England.
