Alden Parcus' line of ancestors extended back to the early immigrants from England to the New England Colonies and, in fact, as his given name indicates, is a direct descendant of John Alden and Pricilla Mullins of Mayflower fame. He passes that distinction down to his descendants.  For the Pedigree Chart of Alden Parcus Copeland click here.
