Patriotic and hereditary societies require that all
persons applying for membership to their organizations
provide proof of descent from a particular
person living at a particular time during a particular
event. By virtue of their own stringent requirements,
hereditary societies such as the Daughters of
the American Revolution, the Sons and Daughters
of the Pilgrims, the Order of the Crown of Charlemagne,
the General Society of the War of 1812,
and the Colonial Dames of America have become
repositories of a class of records that document the
pedigrees, or lineages, of their members. Over the
years these lineage records have grown into a formidable
body of genealogical data, much of which
has been published in the form of lineage books,
pedigree charts, membership rosters, and indexes.
In the process of linking society members to a colonial
forebear, a Revolutionary War patriot, or a
descendant of the Emperor Charlemagne, or some
similar personage, these published lineage records
provide a wealth of detail few other records can
rival: name of ancestor, dates of birth and death,
name of wife, colony or state of residence, and
names of descendants, to mention only a few of
the most significant details.
