The Genealogy Department and the Genealogy Committee of The Augustan Society, Inc., are headed by the Genealogy Committee Chairman who is named by and serves at the pleasure of the President. He is responsible for the genealogical activities of the Society and its sub-groups.
The duties of the Genealogy Committee Chairman include:
- Establish and maintain standards of proof for submitted lineages to our various subgroups that require them;
- Assist, when called upon, to evaluate the accuracy of lineages submitted for said subgroups; and
- Coordinate projects that fall under the scope of this committee.
Procedures for lineage approval:
- Receive application
- Examine application for sources and whether they meet our requirements
- To minimize the workload, it is recommended that lineages be worked from both ends toward the middle. When a defect in data or sources is discovered, stop work from that direction. When defects are found in both directions, return the lineage to the petitioner for improvment.
- If so, check sources to verify whether it supports the lineage claim. if not, request better sources from applicant
- If data is verified, application is approved
- If verifiable data is not listed in original application, or not forthcoming after it is requested, application is denied and applicant advised to try again later with verifiable sources
- Obtain a vote of the majority of the Genealogy Committee concurring on the adequacy of the lineage, and submit same to the Board for confirmation
Note: The duties and procedure above are under development, and the above should not be relied upon at present.
