Specific programs presently active are:
==[[Certified Approved Lineages]]==
The purpose of this project is to review This program receives all lineages submitted by individuals to the Society, and review reviews them for completeness and accuracysubstantial compliance with relaxed genealogical standards. This The result is an "approval" that is not expected considered sufficient for admission to involve a recreation any of the entire research effort, but to ensure than all data has sources ascribed Society's [[Lineage Groups]] and those sources are correctly identified. It will likely also involve a spot check of such data, the failure of any such will induce a more thorough reviewpublication in ''The [[Augustan Omnibus]]''.
The result will be a certificate and enrollment in a register, and such will be accepted by the Society's ==[[Lineage GroupsCertified Lineages]] as sufficient evidence of qualification.<!-- 1. Petition for Certification of a Lineage 2. Letter of Certification — sent from HQ, copy to Augustæum Editor 3. Communication to Family of Augustans with GED file-->==
This proposed project would review lineages as above, but to academic standards compliant with the best professional genealogical standards. The results would be a certificate putting the credibility of the Society behind the lineages. Obviously, this would also qualify for any Society purpose, but might well come to have value outside the Society. The results (certification and lineages) will be published in a register, and such may be published either individually or collectively. ==[[Lineage Research]]==
Genealogical research for hire. Members receive a discount determined by the [[Order of the Augustan Eagle]], presently 20%.
==[[Standard lineage chart format]]==
The goal of this small project is to define a standard lineage chart sufficient to the needs of all Society programs, but especially that of [[Certified Lineages]]. It is also desired that the form will be acceptable to the majority of the major lineage groups operating in the US.
A draft of this format is being developed online [[http://augustansociety.org/cpage.php?pt=46 here]].<!--while use of a standard format is not required, it is encouraged. Such standard charts will have three sections:
2. The second section will be the bibliographic citations in a style substantially equivalent to that defined in the current Chicago Manual of Style. These will be in some logical sequence, likely alphabetical by author or by numerical reference.
3. A third and optional section will be copies of public records and other rare documents that a competent genealogical researcher would not expect to be able to find without significant effort or expense.
E4. Electronic format — GED files with sufficient data to create a standard lineage chart as above.-->
