In the furtherance of the study of genealogy, The Augustan Society, Inc., has established the Family of Augustans project. It is presently assigned to as a [[Study Groups|Study Group]] of the Genealogy DepartmentSociety, and the chairman is lead by a Coordinator named by and serves serving at the pleasure of the Genealogy Committee Chairman[[Dean of Studies]].
The objective of this project is to computerize lineages of Augustans whose genealogies are stored at headquarters or have appeared in various Society publications with the intent to demonstrate our interrelatedness, and to identify common ancestors, both for the sake of fraternity and to assist one another with genealogical researchand applications for lineage societies. Multiple lineages will be accepted.
It is not contemplated that this project will accept broad genealogies that cover more than one line of descent. The [[Library]] will, however, archive members' genealogies for them on request.
Non-members may also submit their lineages, with the understanding that the processing of member linages will take precedence.
Long term, plans Plans are to merge all such lineages into a single database, and to make that (or reports from it) available to members.
Publication of member relationships may appear in either ''[[Augustæum]] '' or ''[[The Augustan Omnibus]]''.
Whenever published, details after the latest US Census released (presently 1940) will be redacted unless specific written permission is obtained from the members involved.
The Coordinator has established [[FOA Procedures]] for the processing of lineages.
For those interested in how our genealogical data is processed and included in this project, a list follows:
Family Of Augustans procedures
1. examine chart or article for common ancestors already computerized in a master file. This is available at the Augustan Society Headquarters and can be requested via email. it is in gedcom format.
2. record any common ancestor found. this can be done via pen and paper, or as a computer text file. mention of common ancestors can be made via the email in step 9 and in any newsletter announcement regarding this proect
3. computerize chart or article up to offspring or spouse of common ancestor
4. create gedcom of personal file
5. merge personal file with master file. connect the two at the common ancestor
6. continue computerizing the personal chart to completion by including ancestors or descendants as relevant of the common ancestor
7. add new people as needed from the personal chart to the master file
8. save revised master and personal files as gedcoms
9. email both gedcom files to headquarters
