Each chapter is responsible for reporting their members’ change of contact and personal information. Your chapter’s Registrar is responsible for making changes in e-Membership, so please inform her of any changes so you stay connected. Reporting the death of a member in a timely manner is much appreciated.

Genealogy Guidelines

Under the Genealogy tab in the Members section of the National Website, a number of links can be found to help registrars research and fill out applications. Make use of the links to build your skills in working on applications.

Most all questions asked by Registrars in the application process can be found in the Guidelines, which are the first three links under the Genealogy tab as well as on the Registrar General’s page under Resources and Tools.

The Wright Administration has restructured this committee to be more team oriented and deliberate in tracking Registrars’ requests for help with applications and research. All requests for help should begin at the state, through the State Registrar or Lineage Research Committee. If additional help is required, a request by a designated person, will be initiated through the Prospective Member Database on e-Membership to the National LRC. This is a NEW process. Requests will be categorized and routed to an appropriate subcommittee.

Another change is refocusing and changing the America 250! Membership Task Force (very often confused with the America 250! Committee) to the Application Task Force. This committee will be assigned the most difficult AIR issues by the National LRC through the new tracking system in e-Membership.

More information on changes in procedures and processes can be found on the Lineage Research Committee pages on the National website.
