What are Lineage Societies?
A lineage society is a group of individuals who have met the criteria of directly linking themselves to a specific ancestor with evidence to prove it There are First Family Societies, Victorian Family Societies, Civil War Societies, The Daughters of the American Revolution, and many more. For generations, family historians have been completing the necessary pedigrees and collecting proof to join these societies. Their work can be a hidden resource for our own family history research.
