Lineage Societies;
Joining a lineage society is an excellent way to honor family heritage, preserve genealogical research on your ancestors, and sometimes an interesting way to meet cousins! The process of documenting your lineage and completing a lineage society application can be challenging. We will share examples of acceptable documents that can be used as proof and provide resources for finding them.
