==[[Approved Lineages]]==
This program receives all lineages submitted to the Society, and reviews them for substantial (but not necessarily complete) compliance with genealogical standards as defined by the Board of Certified Genealogists termed the [http://www.bcgcertification.org/resources/standard.html Genealogical Proof Standard or GPS]. The result is an "approval" that is considered sufficient for admission to the Society's [[Lineage Groups]], [[Registration of Arms]] for 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 fully 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.
