This program receives all lineages submitted to the Society, and reviews them for substantial compliance with relaxed genealogical standards. The result is an "approval" that is considered sufficient for admission to the Society's [[Lineage Groups]], [[Arms Registration|registration]] of inherited arms, and publication in ''The [[Augustan Omnibus]]''. A [[Genealogist Fee]] is assessed for each lineage on a per-generation basis, with a credit being issued for generations already approved by the Society.
==[[Certified Lineages]]==
This proposed project would review lineages as above, but to academic standards compliant with the best professional genealogical standards, presently the GPS. 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. Member discounts may apply to the fees.
==[[Standard Lineages Project]]==
The goal of this project is to define a standard lineage chart sufficient to the needs of all Society programs, but especially that of ==[[Certified Standard LineagesFormat]]. It is also desired that the form will be acceptable to the majority of the major lineage groups operating in the US.==
A draft The goal of this format project is being developed online to define a standard lineage format sufficient to the needs of all Society programs, but especially that of [[http://augustansociety.org/cpage.php?pt=46 hereCertified Lineages]]. It is also desired that the form will be acceptable to the majority of the major lineage groups operating in the US.
<!--Standard charts will have three sections:<ol type="1"> <li>The first section will have four columns: <ol type="a"> <li>Sequential numbering from the oldest to youngest generation.</li> <li>Full names A draft of the descendants, with dates and places of birth, death, and marriage where known.</li> <li>Full names of the spouses of the descendants where known, with dates and places of birth and death where known.</li> <li>Citations to sources in brief form (e.g.this format is being developed online [[http: Authorname, p.000) or by numerical reference.</li> </ol></li> <li>The second section will be the bibliographic citations in a style substantially equivalent to that defined in the current Chicago Manual of Styleaugustansociety. These will be in some logical sequence, likely alphabetical by author or by numerical reference.<org/li> <li>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 expensecpage.</li></ol> Electronic format — GED files with sufficient data to create a standard lineage chart as above. While software to generate a lineage in standard format from a GED file is an established project, at present the [[Genealogy Committeephp?pt=46 here]] has offered to manually convert such.-->
