Membership

Membership in this society is open to anyone age 18 or older who can prove lineal descent from an ancestor who served as a judge or a lawyer prior to 12 April 1861 in any part of what is now the Continental United States of America.
Both Justices of the Peace and Lords of the Manor qualify as “judges.”

The applicant must be sponsored by two members of the Society or be a member of another nationally recognized lineage society. If the applicant’s lineage has been approved by another recognized hereditary society, a record copy of that paper may be sufficient for the generational proof.

Membership may be either Annual, with dues paid each year, or Life. An Annual Member may upgrade to Life Member at any time.

Inquiries are welcomed. Please contact the President or the Genealogist with any questions.
