This new work is an A to Z guide to lineage societies. The author begins with a description of what they have in common, what they aim to do, how to find the right society for yourself, and the various eligibility requirements. The next part of the book explains what’s involved in becoming a member. This entails a detailed treatment of the application process, including how and where to go about assembling the genealogical evidence for membership. Rounding out the volume are examples of the social, cultural, and patriotic activities undertaken by lineage societies. Dr. Nagy provides numerous examples of active lineage societies in Appendix A, with brief descriptions of their membership requirements and contact information. There is also a bibliography of sources. The Complete Guide to Lineage Societies is available in both black and white and color print editions.
