By virtue of their own stringent requirements, hereditary societies such as the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Sons and Daughters of the Pilgrims, the Order of the Crown of Charlemagne, the General Society of the War of 1812, and the Colonial Dames of America have become repositories of a class of records that document the pedigrees, or lineages, of their members. Over the years these lineage records have grown into a formidable body of genealogical data, much of which has been published in the form of lineage books, pedigree charts, membership rosters, and indexes. In the process of linking society members to a colonial forebear, a Revolutionary War patriot, or a descendant of the Emperor Charlemagne, or some similar personage, these published lineage records provide a wealth of detail few other records can rival: name of ancestor, dates of birth and death, name of wife, colony or state of residence, and names of descendants, to mention only a few of the most significant details. The best of these lineage books have been published by the Genealogical Publishing Company, and they are all now available on this CD, which also contains an electronic index to all 440,000 persons named! Like other CDs, it is designed to simplify genealogical research by combining the images of pages of selected volumes published by GPC with a single name index, which allows you to search all the volumes quickly and effortlessly. A search on a single name will turn up all references to that name found in any of the following volumes: *Pedigrees of Some of the Emperor Charlemagne's Descendants. 3 vols. *Lineages of Members of the National Society of Sons and Daughters of the Pilgrims. 3 vols. *Index of the Rolls of Honor (Ancestor's Index) in the Lineage Books of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. 4 vols. *Seventeenth Century Colonial Ancestors of Members of the National Society Colonial Dames XVII Century. 3 vols. *The Roster and Register of the General Society of the War of 1812. 3 vols. *Ancestral Records and Portraits: Colonial Dames of America. 2 vols. *Founders and Patriots of America Index *Some Colonial Dames of Royal Descent *The Order of Americans of Armorial Ancestry, Lineage of Members *Ancestor Lineages of Members Texas Society/National Society Colonial Dames Seventeenth Century *Three Hundred Colonial Ancestors and War Service *Hereditary Order of Descendants of Colonial Governors *Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Delaware, Register of Members
