Most of the genealogical activities of The Augustan Society, Inc., are conducted by the Genealogy Committee. It is headed by the [[Genealogy Committee Chairman]] appointed by the [[President]] and serving serves at his pleasure. The Chairman may appoint such additional members as he sees fit.
Note that some programs formerly assigned to the Genealogy Committee are now [[Study Groups]] under the [[Dean of Studies]]. This should not be taken as an excuse to avoid working together on activities of mutual interest.
==[[Approved Lineages]]==
This program receives all lineages submitted to the Society, and reviews them for substantial compliance with genealogical standards as defined by the Board of Certified Genealogists termed the Genealogical Proof Standard or GPS. 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.
==[[Lineage Research]]==
Genealogical research for hire. Member discounts may apply to the fees.
==[[Standard Lineages Lineage Format]]==
The goal of this project is to define a standard lineage format 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.
