The September 2023 update of SAR’s application guidelines: DNA evidence can now be submitted as part of a proof argument for generations 4 and beyond.
There are two key caveats:
- Matches must sign consent forms. The applicant consent form is found here. The match consent form is here.
- The proof argument must be prepared by a professional genealogist with DNA experience. SAR does recommend using Certified Genealogists (the BCG directory is found here), but they may permit others on a case by case basis.
As always, with lineage society applications, paper evidence should be considered first.
