Most of the genealogical activities of The Augustan Society, Inc., are conducted by the Genealogy Committee. It is headed by a chairman appointed by the President and serving at his pleasure. The chairman may appoint such additional members as he sees fit.
Specific programs presently active are:
Certified Lineages
The purpose of this project is to review lineages submitted by individuals and review them for completeness and accuracy. This is not expected to involve a recreation of the entire research effort, but to ensure than all data has sources ascribed and those sources are correctly identified. It will likely also involve a spot check of such data, the failure of any such will induce a more thorough review.
The result will be a certificate and enrollment in a register, and such will be accepted by the Society's Lineage Groups as sufficient evidence of qualification.
Lineage Research
Genealogical research for hire. Members receive a discount determined by the Order of the Augustan Eagle, presently 20%.
Standard lineage chart format
The goal of this small project is to define a standard lineage chart sufficient to the needs of all Society programs. It is also desired that the form will be acceptable to the majority of the major lineage groups operating in the US.
A draft of this format is being developed online [here].
