OGS Lineage Societies New Computer-Ready Forms! 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. Lineage Society Rules and Application Procedures Tips for Applying to an OGS Lineage Society First Families of Ohio The application first must be approved by The First Families of Ohio Committee and finally by The Ohio Genealogical Society's Board of Trustees. Induction of new members of FFO is held at a special banquet during the annual OGS Conference. Inductees receive a certificate and medal and those that prove ancestors who resided in Ohio by 1803 or before receive the First Families of Ohio 1803 Bicentennial pin. This special commemorative pin, introduced in 2006, was created to honor the earliest pioneers in the state of Ohio and can be worn alone or on the FFO ribbon. FFO members inducted before 2006 who have already proved that an ancestor resided in Ohio by 1803 may request an 1803 pin from the OGS Library in Mansfield, one pin per member. A $2 shipping & handling fee should accompany each request. Please add $.50/each additional 1803 pin if several qualifying FFO members are from the same family and pins are shipped to the same address.
