We Are More Than a Lineage Society 

We are a nonprofit, nonpartisan women’s service organization. We are relevant. We open new doors in genealogical research, helping women discover the stories and people of their past. We invite women of all backgrounds to join us in our efforts to serve our country and preserve our heritage for future generations. 

We Are Active 

To honor our ancestors who fought for our nation’s independence, we are committed to volunteer service as a means to better our local communities.
