The Pilgrim Hopkins Heritage Society, founded in 2005, perpetuates the memory of the Hopkins family who arrived on the “Mayflower” in 1620. Accurate lineal research from and education about Stephen Hopkins, his first wife Mary, his second wife Elizabeth, and his descendants make up the society’s mission to broaden and disseminate knowledge with regard to Pilgrim Hopkins family heritage. Regular membership requires full documentation of lineal descent. Associate membership accepts members who are working on lineal papers, those interested in Hopkins heritage, and non-lineal family members of regular members.
