Nina's descendants are eligible to join the first three societies listed below based on her descent from her 10th great-grandmother, the gateway ancestor, Olive (WELBY) FARWELL.

"Ladies and gentlemen are eligible for membership if they can prove beyond doubt their descent from the Emperor Charlemagne."

My membership application is pending using a documented pedigree from me to Charlemagne through Olive WELBY as confirmed by the NEHGS (30 Nov 2015).

"Individuals of good character who can prove descent from one of more of the 25 Sureties who were responsible for holding King John to the terms of the Great Charter he signed on 15 June 1215 at Runnymede meadow in England anad five counselors of the King who were in sympathy with the Magna Charta will be considered for membership."

Via Olive WELBY, Nina has 14 Magna Charta barons in her ancestry. 

"The membership is comprised of individuals, male and female, of proven lineal descent from one or more Crusaders of Knightly or Higher Rank who participated in one or more of the regular and/or interim Crusades between 1096 and 1291 and who made great personal sacrifices, endured great hardship, performed heroically, and died in great numbers during the Crusades."

Via Olive WELBY, Nina has 13 crusaders in her ancestry.

"In each lineage is a Founder who arrived in one of the Colonies between May 13, 1607, and May 13, 1687, and a Patriot ancestor who gave military, civil service, or other aid in establishing American Independence in the period of 1775 to 1784."

UPDATE:  My application to the D.A.R. has been approved on a line from me through Nina (WILLIS) STRAUB, my maternal grandmother, to Nehemiah HOPKINS.  Any of Nina's descendants need only prove their connection to her to gain membership.  Refer to:  Diana Gale MATTHIESEN, D.A.R. No. 827427.

Just because a European surname has a coat of arms does not mean someone of that surname, today, has a right to display the coat of arms as their own.  This society recognizes those American families with a heritable right to display the family coat of arms.

Robert ROYCE (-1676), of Connecticut 

Only males are accepted for membership.  Nina's male descendants are eligible through Seth HOLT, who was killed in action at Niagara, NY.
