There are over 200 lineage societies that exist today – more than the commonly known societies. Perhaps you have an ancestor that was accused of witchcraft? A founder of a town? A colonial tradesman? British royalty? There is a society for all of these and many more.
Dr. Nagy is a retired trauma surgeon with a lifelong passion for genealogy. She is nationally known for her work with lineage societies, and has served on national boards of several. She has 40 years of experience preparing lineage society applica
Thank you. I had no idea there were so many lineage societies. I’ll have to start investigating some of these for helpful information. Personally, I’m not interested in joining, though I would be eligible for the Mayflower Society, descendants of Pilgrim Howland, SAR, etc. But I might reconsider, based on some of the info you provided today.
It was very informative. I did not realize that there was a society for Cape Cod as most of my ancestors lived there and I stayed in Chatham with my Grandmother one summer. I also worked there.

The Moravians in the 1700s not only settled Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, but their mission work took them to other areas to work with Native Americans. Moravian records include Community Diaries which were required to be kept by each settlement. They were a way for them to record not only ecclesiastical events but other events that affected their settlement such as their interactions with native populations and slaves as they went about doing their missionary work. The German heritage of the Moravians shows in the details of naming visitors (along with any aliases) and relationships among the individuals mentioned. The Moravian records are truly a treasure-trove for anyone whose ancestors were in the same vicinity or time.

In family history research, all documents, even “official” ones, should be viewed with a critical eye. In this lecture, Daniel will walk you through some of the documentation errors he’s found over the years while conducting his personal family history research. He’ll discuss the importance of historical documents in genealogy research, where and how to find them (online, at home, and through family members), possible mistakes, and how best to analyze them before extracting information, rather than trusting them blindly.

The study of letters, documents, and artifacts often tell the deeper stories of our Ancestors and their neighbors. Finding the wonderful stories and information preserved in private letters and manuscripts is worth the extra effort.

Tracking a rascally ancestor through the records can be great fun - and a great challenge. When every record he ever left appears to be a lie, where is the truth to be found?

I have know Kim for some years, and she certainly knows a lot about lineage societies. I loved her presentation!
Thank you for all of the information.
Well prepared presentation including details that were extremely helpful
