| Below are ancestors of Nina WILLIS who have already been approved as
providing eligibility for membership in the societies below, meaning descendants
of Nina WILLIS desiring to become members of these organizations can do
so by documenting her line to them (and the applicant's connection to her).
Other of Nina's ancestors would provide eligibility to various societies should any of her descendants choose to use them in an application for membership. For example, Nina's great-great-grandfather, Seth HOLT, died in the War of 1812, so her descendants are eligible for that society. Currently, however, many War of 1812 pension files (including Seth's) are unavailable because the National Archives Records Administration is curating them. It may be several years before the files are again available to the public. Source: Lineages of Hereditary Society Members, 1600s-1900s. Broderbund CD-506. |

| The Order of Americans of Armorial Ancestry
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. Thomas
