PandaBaby is True Fiction.

Welcome to my Pandababy Blog. A panda bear is an unlikely animal - a bear that eats bamboo - a contradiction in every aspect. This blog is true fiction, also a contradiction in its essence. Yet both are real, both exist - the bear and the blog. Both can only be described by contradictory terms, such as true fiction. Please be pleased to enjoy these stories of our ancestors. They are True Fiction. Every person in my blog lived in the time and place indicated. They are my ancestors and relatives, and their friends.

Elizabeth Tilley - Mayflower Passenger

Elizabeth Tilley, a Mayflower Passenger at age thirteen in 1620, is [not] Goldibear's 10xgreat-grandmother.

UPDATE:
Always go to the primary records if you can. That is a good motto for genealogists, one that I didn't keep when designating Elizabeth Tilley Leo's Mayflower Ancestor. I used a book which referenced a marriage between Lucretia Kinney, daughter of Ezra and Sarah (Denison) Kinney and  Ira Lucas. There was indeed a marriage of Ezra and Sarah's daughter Lucretia Kinney, but it was to Noah Mason. That one error -- not checking the primary sources -- where I would have found the marriage to Noah Mason instead of Ira Lucas, cost me months of work, reams of paper, and I'm only glad I finally found it so I can correct it. Leo is not descended from the Tilley family or from John Howland.

THE GOOD NEWS:
Leo is still descended from a Mayflower passenger, William Brewster. This time I checked the records!
