In searching for Colonial period ancestors from the 1600s to 1783 you may wish to search the lineage papers of the General Society of Colonial Wars. These are available on FS Library films. They are a valuable resource.<br>The lineage papers are well-researched, and well-documented with information on births, marriages, and deaths in family lines from a Colonial period ancestor to someone who applied for membership in the society in the last 100 years.<br>First locate FS Library film 1,425,262 item 27 from the [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog FamilySearch Catalog]. The film can be viewed at the Family History Library and at some FamilySearch Centers. Call ahead to see if your local center has the microfilm.

This is an index to many men of the Colonial period who were in the military or in government leadership positions. Hopefully in the future this book will be available in digital form on familysearch.org.<br>When you locate the film, look for the names of your Colonial-period male ancestor, their father, brothers, uncles, etc. When you find a name, then the next step is to determine the lineage papers' number. For this you will need to view a film for that surname from these films:<br>528,690 surnames Abbey to Baylor<br>528,691 surnames Beach to Cruttenden<br>528,692 surnames Cudworth to Hampton<br>533,971 surnames Hance to Loper<br>533,972 surnames Lord to Reynor<br>533,973 surnames Rhett to Travis<br>533,974 surnames Treat to Zimmerman<br>In these alphabetical cards, look up the card for your relative. You will then see the number of the lineage papers or supplemental lineage papers of that ancestor. There will be a lineage papers' number between 1 and 14,199, or a volume number between 1 and 61, with supplemental papers’ number.<br>Your next step is to view the microfilm of the lineage papers. The films are listed in the FamilySearch Catalog in familysearch.org. In the Catalog film number box you can type in the film number for the first film in this collection, film number 528,677. You will then see the list of films with the lineage papers’ numbers, and, supplemental papers’ volumes and papers, with their film numbers.<br>Review the film for the correct number of the lineage papers or supplemental papers’ volume, and you will receive the film at the center in a few weeks. The lineage records will hopefully give you important information to complete a particular family tree.
