PJHS Charms, Medals, Pins
What we have all been waiting for! The PJHS miniature charm, medal and lapel pin are now available from our own catalog at this link
The Hamilton company is no longer selling charms to individuals. They will only sell in bulk to societies or organizations. The Howland Society is working on purchasing an inventory of charms that we can then sell to our membership. Please check this space for when the charms will be available. Thank you for your patience.
Howland Books
The General Society of Mayflower Descendants meticulously investigates primary records that substantiate the identity of individuals and families that descend from the Pilgrims who traveled on the ship Mayflower in 1620. The Five Generations Project books, also called the Silver books, are now being researched beyond the first five generations. These avidly collected books are an invaluable tool in genealogy research.
