- Pilgrim Fathers - 400th Anniversary of the Mayflower Crossing
Synopsis:
In this presentation, marking the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower crossing, we will look at the religious backdrop which gave rise to the exodus of sincere Christians from England’s shores, the early years spent in the relative freedom of Holland and the subsequent discontent which led to the ‘Pilgrim Fathers’ crossing to the shores of the New World. We will look at their struggles and disappointments even before the crossing could take place, as well as the trials and tribulations of their first years in the new Plimoth Colony.

He is a member of the Day One Council and leads tours of the Biblical artefacts in the British Museum and Israel.

Thank you for your undoubtedly intense research❣️👏🏻👏🏻
My 9th Great Grandfather is Stephen Hopkins and my 8th Great Grandmother is Constance Hopkins, passengers on the Mayflower. Constance married Nicholas Snow who came to America in 1623 on the ship Anne. Thank you for posting this as we celebrate our Mayflower ancestors 400th Anniversary!
Good job. More people need to give this a thumbs up 👍
Thanks Brian
Thank you. A much more balanced/accurate view of the Mayflower passengers & their trials & tribulations. Well done. TU.
Thank you!
I am Adona Alden of John Alden.. Very good video
My wife and I trace back to several of the men and women from the Mayflower and Plymouth Colony. That makes us one in tens of millions! Lol!
Haha haha its so interesting bet go far back and yes not judgingbut fam trees after a bit Sen to look incestrial to sound better and that you prob have a common relative. Yet anyone who still is into geneology prob knows that one common or yes even Similar name as only spelled as they did. We are all related. yet the blue eye change as dark hair. Anyone relate to such features?? Or
Perry Ellis Keene?!? I'd have to get the names further back!!
@@kaydi123 We all go back to Noah. Then to Adam.
I know how to pronounce Leiden now, thank you!
This is fantastic, one of the positive things to come from this year is getting to see these wonderful things I missed previously due to my health stuff. Thank you so, so much for putting this on CZcams. Looking forward to your other videos as well.
Merry Christmas! Or Happy Christmas :)
Thank you Amy, Merry Christmas to you too!
Oh my Lord, I dont know were to beginnings of my Mayflower ancestors that survived and s huge in abuses and hardships thrives on. My mind to them is so boggled of their endurances for your way today as you can to this land. We can never give expressed homages enough. There are no words of us living today of them.
Even my old as royalty as family as knights to the king who went rouge as a ruler to coming after churches rulers and wardens. they knew and ran from corrupted rulers upon their own governement.
Thanks . . .
You're welcome!
Allerton/Cushman/Warren descendant. Thanks for the splendid presentation. 🙏
Very good video and very interesting, imagine making a journey into the unknown like this on such a vessel as the mayflower truly unbreakable faith such bravery, I wish you well 👍
Yes indeed, as the ship was not huge. If ever visited. I so hope I can bring my children there this summer.
I am descended from the rev. Thomas Blossom who was on the Mayflower 2 and who had been in Leiden with his family before returning to England and being imprisoned in Boston UK. Our great grandfather Richard Thomas came to Australia in 1860 with his brother from North Cave in Yorkshire.
Good day. Do you mean the mayflower also? As 2 replica yet have read the ships did have name change. Ann does ring geneology bells!!. Its amazing to see what we are now bc of our great ancestors creating as thought to, the best or better way of life. Sadly though by sacrificing us now, as we are the new natives!
11:19 amazing quote. It's worth noting that John Bunyan wrote his Pilgrims Progress much later, so that the gospel was not wholly removed from England after all.
My GrandParents were John and Priscilla Alden
This was a great presentation! Very thoughtful and thorough. I've enjoyed reflecting on their journey these 400 years ago. My mother told me I am related to someone who came over on the Mayflower, but I've never confirmed this. I do want to find out if it is true.
You should find out! It is so cool knowing your ancestors were on the Mayflower. I am descended from 4 passengers!
I wanted to do a family tree this year and the site I've been using is pretty amazing. I would never have even thought to see if I had an ancestor on the Mayflower. When they sent me a notification that said "You might have an ancestor.." So a month later I clicked it because I was stuck, and there he was. Way back, but I checked every link, and I'm one of the six million of us (that is also wild. 100 people have 6,000,000 descendents) who had an ancestor on the Mayflower.
I always forget the site I use, it's based on this incredible and generous project the Mormons do.
I'll bring back a link. :)
This is the coolest site: familysearch.com
familysearch.org
My brain isn't working. Or because I have 200 tabs open. :D
The dot org one. 😂😂
@@amylynnhunt55 Thank you for posting this info and I know I'm responding super late! Did you already have a lot of information on your family tree? I'm a couple hundred years short on the information that I have. I was using a different site and I got stuck as well.
Thank you for the video really interesting stuff from my learnings in the past yes of course the Puritans came here for all these reasons you're talking about and that are well known but many of the people that came were not religious and were simply there for a opportunities financial gain land was free there was resources to be had I wish I could give her number on the percentage of people that went there under those conditions or with that mindset but I guess it's not all that important but in the end we do have to take knowledge of the fact that they weren't all purines cecilia's, Bob the blind bedroom guitarist
I know my family came and was not during an easy, already set up and knowledgeable of surviving and natives thankfully assisted. Seems as now still at times. My ancestors were always the good intentions type. And other's then, made a bad name for all. Then another Ellis ancestor, I suppose decided to create an island of same name for imagrants. Now we complain they want to be here. Blows my mind! A story to see such reasons and who actually made that something still visisted today! I'd love to see.
If I may, let me suggest a new video, The Pilgrims, 17th-Century English Emigrants, available at this link:
czcams.com/video/DzDeCLpJkYE/video.html.
CZcams keeps erasing my comments when it comes to my ancestors very much linked to The Mayflower. Getting tired of people censoring me.
William Brewster is my ever so great gr. father, and I have always been under the impression that he was indeed a Separatist. Separatists believed that women deserved rights too. Their wives could own land. W. Brewster`s daughter Patience however married a Puritan.
Interesting of such names I've found, such as Patience. As also seemed some sounded feminine yet some were not. Huge genealogy as sadly now possibly some say my family home from 1600s the 9 Sandwich st home..or the Perry Ellis Keene home and today's ancestors with trowbridge or similar ancestry issues repeated again. I now ponder what was decided of what to do with historic landmark. Sooo. Be it blood marriage or odd combo.. Seems many of us are indeed related! Maybe why my grandfather took me to plymoth plantation every summer as also helped we just jumped stone wall to get tickets from library. Yes in historic district. Wished the caring Karen in me spoke loud. I'm sorry to all for whom I failed there. Many generations lived there. Yours may may hehe have also!!
@@kaydi123 I was surprised to find that Love Brewster was a male. I understand your surprise at feminine sounding names not turning out to be feminine after all. Different times held different views.
I’m a descendant❣️
Maybe a sincere Christian, should just read the bible and not be influenced by organised religion. Thank you for your hard work in relating to me the arrival of sincere Christian's to America.
Good day. I'm not at all knocking Christians but...that is am organized religion that is bits and pieces of other's. Not bad etc just felt to say. Get yes bible does help bring us back to that which we are to ReMember!!
Do not confuse the Pilgrims with the Puritans. Pilgrims, "Seperatists", separated from the Church of England. The Puritans were still part if the Church of England. In the Colony there was friction between the two, not so much caused by the Pilgrims. There was friendship and cooperation with the American Indians (I am if three Chesapeake Bay tribes from my Jamestown Colony lineage, so I give you leave to use the term "American Indian") while the Puritans did not. King Philip's War was not caused or started by the Pilgrims. It was the Puritans that forced the detention if the Christian Indians into Deer Island and had most starve to death! I can see Christ in the Pilgrims. I cannot see Christ in the Puritans. Just an observation.
I can never understand people have CZcams channels that have to have their face on the screen all the time... Like here at the beginning when you're showing the little village of scrooby you could be talking in the background there's no need for your picture in the corner it takes away from all your hard work editing and putting the pictures in I just don't understand it... When you watch documentaries you don't see the person who's narrating up in the corner to take away from the visuals
Unless sign language is used and yes. I always am drawn to watch them sign vs looking at w.e else is being shown or speaking! All good though as is appreciated!
You are lumping the Puritans in with the Separatists. Winthrop was Boston Bay Colony (Puritans) and Bradford was Plimouth (Separatists)
You are correct. The Puritans were religious. The Pilgrims were faithful. The American Indian tribes in the area were converted to Christianity through the work and efforts of the Pilgrims, not the Puritans.
Just to let you know everything was shared a common Storehouse was used just store all the food that was raised so if you worked your fingers to the Bone and someone else was lazy all got the same amount of food from the storehouse. Through a form of communism nothing belongs to anybody... It wasn't until a few years into this but things started to prosper when they said whatever you raised you kept there was not going to be a common Storehouse anymore so if you didn't work you weren't going to eat! Also since there weren't any she brought over there wasn't the spinning and the weaving for women to do like there was an England! In people's Wills they willed their clothing to other people because clothing was scarce they had patches on patches! And after the first Thanksgiving 3 Day celebration where they celebrated the fact they were alive and they weren't going to starve to death over the winter a ship came into the harbor and the people had no supplies with them as far as food was concerned and the sailors on the ship didn't have enough food to get back to England so the celebration was a bit too early because now they were going to starve again during the winter!
I am a great granddaughter of John Billington's son Francis Billington. Quite the interesting family I hear. Things improved after their generation, just fyi. LOL
Meloche is in my French-Canadian family lines. Direct descendant of Standish, Alden, Chilton and Mullins who were on the Mayflower.
