In the furtherance of the study of genealogy, The Augustan Society, Inc., has established the Family of Augustans project. It is established within the Genealogy Department, and the chairman is named by and serves at the pleasure of the Genealogy Committee Chairman.
The objective of this project is to computerise 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.
Society members are encouraged to participate by sending their genealogies to Headquarters either on paper or electronically saved in the gedcom protocol. Non-members may also submit their lineages, with the understanding that the processing of member linages will take precedence.
Long term, plans are to merge all such lineages into a single database, and to make that (or reports from it) available to members.
