OGS Lineage Societies
New Computer-Ready Forms!
We are pleased to announce that each OGS lineage society have "fillable" application forms in Adobe Acrobat
(.PDF) format. Once downloaded, these new forms allow applicants to enter their lineage information
directly into the application fields. Gone are the days of first printing a blank application and then
typing or printing your information in the appropriate fields.
We recommend that applicants download and install
Foxit Reader 2.0, a
free and easy-to-use PDF document viewer for Windows which allows completed applications to be saved on your
computer.
