The Genealogy Department of The Augustan Society, Inc., would engage in the following activities:
Contents
Genealogy Committee
The Genealogy Committee is composed of the Genealogy Chairman, the members of other committees assigned to the Genealogy Department, such members as the Chairman sees fit, and the President and Consuls as ex officio members.
The Chairman is named by the President and serves at his pleasure. The members are named by the Chairman, and serve at his pleasure.
All activities of the Genealogy Department fall under the control of the Genealogy Committee unless the Board or Chairman has created another Committee and charged them with responsibility.
Lineage Certification Committee
Presently, the Genealogy Committee will review lineages submitted and compare the data and sources to contemporary genealogical standards. A fee is exacted for this service based on the total number of generations involved (including first and last), but if portions of the lineage have been previously approved, a credit will be issued for those duplicated generations.
Presently, this work may be cursory, with only spot-checking of sources, or it may be an in-depth review with most sources verified, as it may seem necessary and appropriate to the Committee. This may or may not be an adequate process for the future.
Proposal #16: The Society should work toward articulating and publishing the standards to be applied to the review and approval of lineages, including the question of when an in-depth survey might be needed.
Proposal #17: The Society should work toward articulating and publishing the standards to be applied to the certification of lineages.
Proposal #18: The Society should work toward publishing in a suitable form those lineages that have been approved or certified. Such to redact most data more recent than the latest release of US Census data.
