How do I tell if a relatives approved paper (pre 1983) is well documented? OR Is there any way of finding out if someone else has previously had a well documented paper approved based on my early lines?

If you do not already have a copy of the relative’s lineage paper, you will need to obtain one from the relative, thru your State Historian, or from the General Society (P. O. Box 3297, Plymouth MA 02361) at a cost of $10.00. You will need to send a synopsis of your line (a synopsis form may be printed out at General Society of Mayflower Descendants website ) give the person’s name and if known, their General Society number. Ask for a search for a well documented paper, and ask if your relative’s paper is one of those. The same applies to find out if a well documented line similar to yours has ever been approved – send a synopsis of your line. If a previously approved paper IS well documented, you will be able to use the data & sources from that paper up to the point where your lines branch off, which means your documentation efforts will begin at this point.
