Today the new Boston Tea Party Descendants Program is being launched by the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum, dedicated to accurately reliving and representing a key time in history (1773-1775), in partnership with American Ancestors/New England Historic Genealogical Society, the nation’s first and leading center for family history research. The announcement comes during this 250th anniversary year of the Boston Tea Party, a momentous event that forever changed the course of American history.  \nThis program will allow anyone with a family tree connection to an ancestor that took part in the Boston Tea Party to join this new member-based lineage society, with all research vetted by experts at American Ancestors/New England Historic Genealogical Society, America’s oldest and largest genealogical society. The mission of the Boston Tea Party Descendant Program is to create a qualified lineage membership program dedicated to honoring and perpetuating the memories of those who actively participated in the Boston Tea Party and to foster interest in genealogical connections to participants in the Boston Tea Party, their families and those involved in this “single most important event leading up to the American Revolution”.  \n“We are thrilled to create this first-ever Boston Tea Party descendant online portal of America’s first patriots in partnership with the American Ancestors/New England Historic Genealogical Society in this 250th anniversary year of the Boston Tea Party,” says Shawn P. Ford, Executive Director for the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum.“It is our hope to educate, inspire, and make genealogical connections to those who participated in the Boston Tea Party. American families – new and old – can benefit from knowing about their heritage in the context of this pivotal moment in history.”  \nOne feature of the Boston Tea Party Descendants Program will be a public-facing digital portal that members will help build through their contributions in the form of family papers, documents from other genealogical organizations etc. The Boston Tea Party Descendants Program will maintain digital records of all submitted applications with accompanying documentation and will continue to grow into the ultimate online resource for descendants, their families, researchers, and organizations, and live in perpetuity to bring a further personal and cultural understanding and connection to their shared history to the revolutionary event known as the Boston Tea Party.  \n“To date, there has never been comprehensive genealogical research produced that specifically looks at the Boston Tea Party participants,” says Brenton Simons, CEO of American Ancestors/New England Historic Genealogical Society.“People are always excited when they can make a personal connection to the past and thanks to this new research into the lives of the Boston Tea Party participants, individuals will be able to link their ancestry to one of the most famous acts of defiance in history, and to join a group of members with that  \ncommon connection. It’s a thrilling way to inspire people to find out more about how their ancestors shaped the world we live in today!”  \nApplications for membership in the Boston Tea Party Descendants Program will be vetted by full-time professional genealogists at the American Ancestors/New England Historic Genealogical Society.","cbCaidSNnE50Lh3I","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidSNnE50Lh3I","pdf",570259,"English","# Program launch and purpose\n## Partnership and 250th anniversary context\n# Eligibility and application process\n## Expert vetting and accuracy review\n# Membership tiers and fees\n## Lineage Member\n## Eyewitness to History\n## Co-conspirator\n# Digital portal and resources","[{\"question\":\"What is the Boston Tea Party Descendants Program?\",\"answer\":\"It is a member-based lineage society that enables descendants of Boston Tea Party participants to join after their lineage connection is vetted and approved by experts.\"},{\"question\":\"Who partners to run the program and vet applications?\",\"answer\":\"Boston Tea Party Ships \\u0026 Museum launches the program with American Ancestors/New England Historic Genealogical Society, which reviews applications for genealogical integrity and historical accuracy.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the membership tiers and how much do they cost?\",\"answer\":\"Lineage Member is $125 annually, Eyewitness to History is $100 annually, and Co-conspirator is $75 annually with a tier that waives the $400 vetting fee.\"}]","Boston Tea Party Descendants Program Press Release | PDF",1787739854]
