Signature INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF THE APPLICATION
It is necessary that the documentation for each generation of the lineage must identify the individuals named and the linkage between generations. All generational proof and proof of service submitted shall conform to the present day standard of evidence even though a record may have been submitted and accepted at an earlier date and with less documentation. Ail proof submitted must be legible.
Birth certificates, marriage licenses and certificates, death certificates, wills, deeds, probate records, family Bibles, census records naming the individual and documents executed at the time of the event are considered legal records of evidence. Generational proof must contain dates and places, or other supporting information.
Lineages accepted by another Society or unsupported statements in a county history, family genealogy, or newsletter are not valid proof to establish a line of descent. All references cited to support the lineage and service must be accompani ed by .a-copy of the record. If from a published source public or private, the title, frontispage, author and date of publication should be stated on the application.
The basis of lineage is biological, and not through adoptive parents. If a child's surname has been changed, the birth and marriage of the biological parents should be shown, and divorce data supplied and applicable. If a child now bears a surname other than that of the biological father, the change should be evidenced by a legal record or by a certified affidavit.
You must provide all dates in day, three character month and four digit year format-for example 19 SEP 2006.
