FOA Procedures

The Augustan Society, Inc., has created the Family of Augustans Study Group. This page details the procedure to be employed by members of this group in processing lineages.

1. Examine each chart or article for common ancestors already computerized in a master file. This is available at Headquarters and can be requested via email. It is in GED format. (Note: Headquarters is unaware of this master file.)
2. Record any common ancestor found. This can be done via pen and paper, or as a computer text file. Mention of common ancestors can be made via the email in step 9 and in any newsletter announcement regarding this project.
3. Computerize the chart or article up to offspring and spouse of common ancestor.
4. Create a GED file of the lineage.
5. Merge personal file with master file. Connect the two at the common ancestor.
6. Continue computerizing the personal chart to completion by including ancestors or descendants as relevant of the common ancestor.
7. Add new people as needed from the personal chart to the master file.
8. Save the revised master and personal files in GED format.
9. Email both GED files to headquarters
