National Society of New England Women
The National Society of New England Women is a lineage society whose members are women with an ancestor born in New England before 1789 or in the Nassau or Suffolk counties of Long Island before 1700. The society was founded by Mrs. William Gerry Slade in 1895. It met at the Waldorf Astoria New York and established branches elsewhere which were organised as colonies. For example, a colony was established in Madison, Wisconsin in 1930. The organization had at the time 55 colonies with a total membership of over three thousand. The colonies engage in educational works with a patriotic theme such as sponsoring essay contests, pageants, scholarships and support of libraries. Notable members
