(Pending approval) The '''Society of Descendants of Spain''' (SDE) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Augustan Society, Inc. Online data is [httphttps://www.augustansociety.org/cpageindex.phpcfm?ptfuseaction=Page.ViewPage&pageId=00 pending1579].
The SDE was organized to further interest in the study of Spain and Spanish emigrants. Scholarly and genealogical data gathered are submitted to [[Augustan Omnibus | The Augustan Omnibus]], the [[Family of Augustans]] project, and the [[Books Editor]] for inclusion in the ''Augustan Lineages'' series.
Membership in the SDE is available in two exclusive classes:
'''Royal Class''' is available to persons who can prove descent from any King of Spain or a predicessor predecessor nation; or
'''Hereditary Class''' is available to persons who cannot qualify for Royal Class, but who can prove descent from a Spanish family who lived in Spain or a predecessor nation for a minimum of three generations.
Note: The definition of "Spain" for purposes of qualification is the current borders of that nation. The definition of "predecessor nation" is limited to Christian kingdoms.
The entry fee is $100; $50 for converting from Hereditary to Royal Class at a later date; plus a Genealogist Fee for each lineage submitted, including corrections and extensions. No fees need attach for lineages or portions of lineages already recognized by The Augustan Society, and a credit will be issued for any such duplication.
<li>Headquarters Staff will notify the [[Custodian of Insignia]] of the induction that they may send the appropriate insignia with a cover letter.</li>
