In the furtherance of the study of genealogy, The Augustan Society, Inc., has established the Family of Augustans project. It is presently assigned as a [[Study Groups|Study Group]] of the Society, and is lead by a [[Coordinators|Coordinator ]] named by and serving at the pleasure of the [[Dean of Studies]].
The objective of this project Study Group is to computerize lineages of Augustans whose genealogies are stored at headquarters [[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 research and applications for lineage societies. Multiple lineages for one individual 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.
Society members are encouraged to participate by sending their genealogies to Headquarters either on paper or electronically. The latter, in GED format, is preferred. Paper lineages should be in Standard Lineage Format. Data sent in other formats may will be converted. Paper lineages should be in standard formatgratis by the [[Genealogy Committee]] into [[Standard Lineage Format]] and a GED file.
Non-members may also submit their lineages, with the understanding that the processing of member linages lineages will take precedence.
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]]'' (if brief) or ''[[The Augustan Omnibus]]''(if more extensive).
Whenever published, details after the latest US Census released (presently 1940) will be redacted unless specific written permission is obtained from the members involvedindividuals mentioned.
The Coordinator has established [[FOA Procedures]] for the processing of lineages.
