PictureAncestor chart of my 4th great grandfather, Jedediah Holmes
There are lineage societies for many purposes. Some focus on residency in a certain time period, such as the General Society of Mayflower Descendants and the Jamestowne Society. Others focus on military participation, such as the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) and the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR).

The list below is courtesy of the Lineage Society of America (lineagesocietyofamerica.com). You can find other lists on Wikipedia. The lists, regardless of source, may change, and they are not necessarily complete.  So, I'm not going to try to keep this list absolutely up-to-date.
