Arlene,
You do not connect with Southard, but with Southworth instead. I would suggest that you try rsearching Constant and Thomas Southworth who came to Plymouth in 1628 to live with their mother, Alice Carpenter Southworth Bradford, and stepfather, William Bradford of the Mayflower. The story of this family is well known and readily available in libraries. Alice had married Edward Southworth. They lived in England and Leiden and planned to travel together on the Mayflower. Edward became ill and died before the ship sailed. When Bradford's wife died in America, he sent for Alice to marry him. Edward Southworth is presumed to descend from a well respected English family with a rich history. You really should read about it and try to trace the children of Constant and his brother Thomas to find your own connection to them. Your DNA matches that family. It does not match Southard.
Mildred,
I don't recognize your names. However, check our DNA Project website and the pedigrees shown there on the Patriarchs page: www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/southworth.
