Thank you Stu.Wiki Tree shows "ancestor" next to Brewster 5 lines, all three Hopkins with multiple lines, Thomas and Joseph Rogers both off whom I have GSMD certs, Elizabeth and John Tilley, 2 lines. I suspect that there are others and would like to see them in my ancestry.com account.

This is the wrong place to complain about Ancestry.

I do not mean to "complain" about ancestry; Just want to see my direct Ancestry to as many as ik can.

---

or the right place!

---

That too.

Answer 2

How exciting, Frederick, to make a connection like that! And I hope each of the connections includes valid sources to increase your confidence in this lineage. Do you plan to join the Mayflower Society?

WikiTree has a quick check for you. Select Connections within the My WikiTree tab. You'll see a list of your connections. Above this you'll see in bold My Featured Connections. Select Mayflower Passengers. It will bring up a list of Mayflower passengers you are directly or indirectly related to. Directly related passengers are listed as Ancestors.

Best success with your find!

WikiTree shows William Brewster as "Ancestor" so, I assume I am directly descended from him was well as the Rogers'

And, you seem to want a free ride, without even hitting the buttons to check your connection, and see if there are any that are uncertain.

It just takes a few clicks for you to check the connections to answer your questions.

Surely, WikiTree can only show Brewster as your ancestor based on your tree here. WikiTree cannot 'find' ancestors you have not found and put in your tree.

Answer 3

I don't think Ancestry itself 'shows' Mayflower descendancy in any manner--a User might add that info to any particular profile in their Tree. I add a profile image (the signing painting with "Approved" overlaid onto it) to my approved lines in order to help others follow my path back to a passenger.
