We live in an era defined
by speed and convenience. In such a time, it is
easy to forget the personalities, lifestyles, events
and epoch deeds which forged, not only America, but
modern civilization as we know it. The study of
history and genealogy provides a mode of reflection
and acknowledgement of the people, places and processes
responsible for the lives we enjoy today. This
is the heartbeat of the hereditary society community.

We
are educators. The hereditary society community
serves America by compiling data about our past,
documenting that data, and making it available
the general public. Thousands upon thousands
of publications have been produced within our
ranks, and our work is available in libraries
everywhere. Our societies promote historical
education on many levels, and many of our members
are active public speakers and teachers in their
local communities. We lay a strong foundation
for our nation, reminding the world of America's
unique history and great destiny. |
|
We are genealogists. The hereditary society
community is hard at work collectively researching
and documenting the lineages of American and international
families over the past several hundred years.
We provide documentation for our work, making
the road easier for generations to come.
Furthermore, we celebrate the accomplishments
and lives of those we study, honoring our past.
Genealogical study is the passion and common
bond
of the hereditary society community. |

We are historians. The hereditary society
community is committed to the preservation and
accurate depiction of, not only the raw historical
facts which shaped American and European history,
but also the nature of the lives of the men and
women who lived in past eras. Our work is
the cumulative product of hundreds of thousands
of hours of personal and joint research.
All this is evidenced in the books and writings
of countless town, family and era historians associated
with the hereditary society community. We
provide a significant source of accurate, relevant
historical data for generations to come. |
|
We promote civic duty and patriotism. The
hereditary society community is constantly engaged
in new projects for the betterment of American
society. From the disbursement of scholarships,
to significant historical preservation, to leadership
in community, state and national patriotic ceremonies,
we are serving our fellow Americans on many fronts.
The collective mind of the hereditary society
community is one which honors the past, embraces
the present and engages the future. |
 |
 |
We are a fellowship. The hereditary society
community provides the opportunity for like-minded
individuals to foster life-long friendships, partnerships
in projects, synergism in reaching similar goals,
and a chance to remain active in the context of
organized groups. Our members are generally
individuals who make things happen, and have the
ability to get the job done. Many of us
are prominent figures in our communities, leaders,
and role models to those closest to us.
We truly enjoy fellowshipping together, savoring
our mutual love for all that the community represents. |
The
HSC site is designed to bring together the
elements comprising the hereditary society community,
in an effort to create unity, foster relationships,
and inform the public. The entire project is
non-profit, and has been initiated for the sole benefit
of the Hereditary Society Community. No fees or
dues are collected from Advisors, Honorary Members, nor
societies listed on the site. We hope your visit will
be fruitful, informative, and enjoyable. |
