These "known
lines", organized into membership 'divisions', represent the
current
extent of the organization's focus. However, we welcome the
discovery
of any new lines or information, and can expand our number of divisions
should any other lines be defined. We are aware of the existence
of other groups, which are not encompassed in any of the lines listed
below, with surnames of same or similar spellings. We
welcome
the exchange of information with anyone in this category, and invite
you
to consider membership.
