Genealogists will love the fact that the new Republican choice for
Vice President - Sarah Heath Palin is a descendant of multiple
Mayflower passengers: John Tilley, John Howland, Stephen Hopkins,
Governor William Brewster, Richard Warren and other well known New
England families.

She is also a descendant of the Rev. John Lathrop - famous to
genealogists as the "gateway" ancestor of many US Presidents,
inventors, actors and celebrities.
