In the furtherance of the study of genealogy, The objective Augustan Society, Inc., has established the Family of Augustans project. The work on this project is to computerise lineages done by the '''Family of Augustans whose genealogies are stored at headquarters or have appeared in various Society publications with the intent to demonstrate our interrelatednessStudy Group''', and to identify common ancestors, both for is lead by a [[Coordinators|Coordinator]] named by and serving at the sake pleasure of fraternity and to assist one another with genealogical researchthe [[Dean of Studies]].
The objective of this [[Study Groups|Study Group]] 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 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 saved . The latter, in GED format, is preferred. Paper lineages should be in Standard Lineage Format. Data sent in other formats will be converted gratis by the gedcom protocol[[Genealogy Committee]] into [[Standard Lineage Format]] or 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 ''[[Augustan Omnibus|The Augustan Omnibus]]'' (if more extensive). Whenever published, details after the latest US Census released (presently 1950) will be redacted unless specific written permission is obtained from any living individuals mentioned. A [[FOA Procedures|Procedure]] for processing lineages has been proposed, but it is incomplete and presently unworkable. It does, however, provide a starting point. This Study Group is presently dormant, but can be activated at the request of any Member in [[Good Standing]]. ---- *[[Study Groups|back to Study Groups]]*[[Main Page|back to Main Page]]
