It is one of the few societies of today which has heraldry at the core of its objectives and additionally holds one of the largest collections of Coats of Arms in the country. Moreover, compared to other lineage societies, the National Society Colonial Dames XVII Century requires that potential applicants must be able to prove their ancestry in the country prior to 1701.
Eligibility
Any woman eighteen years of age or over of good moral character is eligible for membership, provided she has been invited by the Society, is eligible through birth parents or adopted parents if there is a blood relationship to the applicant, and is the lineal descendant of an ancestor who lived and served prior to 1701 in one of the Original Colonies in the geographical area of the present United States of America. Lineal descendant shall mean direct legal blood descendant. No person may enter the Society under known false lineage records.
Objectives
The object of this society shall be Patriotic, Historical and Educational; to make research as to the history and deeds of the American Colonists, and to record and publish the same; to commemorate deeds of Colonial interest; to inculcate and foster love of America and institutions by all its residents; to obey its laws and venerate its flag-emblem of its power and civic righteousness.
