Who Could Be in Your Family Tree?
Have you ever wondered if your ancestors fought alongside George Washington in the
American Revolutionary War, or maybe even sold provisions to the Continental Army?
Perhaps they were passengers on the Mayflower. Want to prove it? Then a lineage
society is for you. And while a lineage society is a way to take pride in an ancestor's
accomplishments, it's also a great way to test your research skills and learn more about
certain lines in your family history.
The Mary Martin Elmore Scott Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and
the Huntsville Public Library are hosting their annual Lineage Society Workshop Thursday,
June 11, 2015. Be sure to put it on your calendar!
Held from 10:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the Community Room at the Huntsville Public Library,
located at 1219 13th Street, the workshop will offer assistance in preparation of lineage
applications to any patriotic or lineage society (for women and/or men).
"Anyone interested in joining a lineage society is invited to participate," said Mary Kokot,
Huntsville Public Library Adult Services Coordinator. "Bring any genealogical & family
materials you have, such as birth, death, and marriage certificates, bible records, land
records, etc.
