To qualify for Mayflower Society membership, you need a proven lineage from a Mayflower passenger and approval from the Mayflower Society Historian General. Anyone who arrived in Plymouth as a passenger on the 1620 Mayflower is considered a Pilgrim. It makes no difference what their original purpose was for making the voyage.
Memberships and junior memberships are available for California residents through the California Mayflower Society, not the General Mayflower Society in Plymouth.
