Lineage
Societies of Lorain County Chapter OGS Lineage Societies are a way to honor our ancestors that came to
Lorain County to help settle this land. We have four different lineage
societies and they can be found below. In order to be considered for a Lorain
County Lineage Society, you must first be a member of the Lorain County
Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society. A non-refundable application fee of $25.00 is required to be
submitted with your initial application for each lineage group you apply to.
Additional immediate family members, children and grandchildren, are eligible
to join at any time for an additional $10 non-refundable fee per person
applying. However, if the immediate family members are inducted at the same
time with your initial application, there is no fee for those immediate
family members being added. All supplemental applications are $10 per application. A
supplemental application is made after the initial application has been
approved. Example: After approval, you find additional ancestors that would
qualify. These ancestors would be submitted as a supplemental application.
The fee is applicable to all applicants. All applications and documentation must be in paper format only.
No CD's of application or documentation will be permitted except as a back-up
file. Download the Guidelines here
(guidelines for all levels are the same). Please keep in mind that the
