*** Important Note:

The Patent of Nativity document follows the Biblical example of genealogy, and uses only the forefathers (male) lineage. It does NOT use the females. (Matthew 1:1-17, Luke 3:23-38) Please keep this in mind when gathering your information. See our Samples page for sample documents.

The only female name(s) that you will use is your Mother’s name, (if
applicable,) and of course, your name, if you are a female. Again, when gathering and inputting the information, you only have to gather the forefathers / males  Names, Birth Year [B/Y] and Deceased Year [D/Y], (if applicable.) You do not use female names. You can have someone gather your information for you, or you can use any genealogy site that you choose to gather your lineage and genealogy information. See our Research page.

The following checklist helps you gather all of the necessary information so that you can easily compile the information.

[DOUBLE LINEAGE] - For Double Lineage orders, be sure to fill out the complete Checklist, every field must be filled out, and each field double checked for accuracy. This is very important. If you send us the wrong information and we print it and it is incorrect, then there will be a $20 're-design' fee to correct the error. If the error is on our behalf, then there is no extra charge or fees needed.

The Double Lineage should be filled as as follows: You, your father <AND> mother, grandfathers (on both sides), great grandfathers, great great grandfathers, great great great grandfathers, and so on up to 10 generations (or pre - 1776)on both your father’s side and also the same format on your mother’s side. These will be represented as G1 (Great Grandfather), G2 (Great Great Grandfather), G3 (Great Great Great Grandfather) and so forth.

[SINGLE LINEAGE] - For Single Lineage orders, fill out all information pertaining to you and the parent of choice's lineage. (ie Mother <or> Father's lineage only.) This is important. Be sure to fill out the appropriate fields and double check for accuracy. If you send us the wrong information and we print it and it is incorrect, then there will be a $20 're-design' fee to correct the error. If the error is on our behalf, then there is no extra charge or fees needed.

If you are using only a single parent, the same rule applies. You, your father <OR> mother, grandfathers, great grandfathers, great great grandfathers, great great great grandfathers, and so on up to 10 generations (or pre - 1776) on your father’s side and the same format on your mother’s side.

The checklist makes the process go much easier and quicker. Again, for both parents lineage, fill out ALL of the information on the Checklist and double check all fields before submitting it for your document. If you are using only a single parents lineage, fill out all of the information on the parent you will be using, and exclude the section on the parent that you are not using before submitting it for your document
