We encourage interest and welcome new members. If
you are qualified, we encourage you to complete the lineage forms
and submit them to the Society along with either a proposal from a
member or your cv or resume. Please be sure to include your
references and documentation, with copies, to establish your
qualifications.
Normally candidates for membership are proposed
for membership by other members. Considering that many outstanding
candidates may not know a member but be committed to the purposes
and mission of our Society and who share our interest in the origin
of our constitutional liberty and in genealogy, we have adopted a
procedure where a candidate could submit a cv or resume reflecting
his or her interests and accomplishments. That information, along
with the lineage information, will be considered by the Society.
