Your Leiden badges
Collect all six family badges to unlock a keepsake Collector's Certificate.

Your voyage
The Speedwell & the Mayflower
This tracks your own progress, not history: everyone starts at the quay, boards the Speedwell as you support records, and reaches the Mayflower once a badge is earned. (The real Speedwell set out with the Mayflower in 1620 but had to turn back — some passengers crowded onto the Mayflower, the rest stayed behind.)

Collect the people
Person badges
Every person on a family page has their own badge too — support every record available for them, however many there are, and it's earned.
Collect the extras
Special badges
A few extra badges that don't need any support at all — just a bit of curiosity.
The last step
