Our Motto

Good judgment, good spirit, and good character generate happiness with reward through membership and service in the Society of Descendant of Lady Godiva.

Society Colors

Royal Purple, gold (or Yellow), and silver are the official colors of the Society. Royal Purple signifies someone who is born into a life of wealth and privilege. The color purple represents royalty and was worn by both men and women in medieval times. It was worn almost exclusively by members of royal families and leaders of powerful empires. Gold signifies wealth and the color of the sun and stands for good judgment, good spirit and happiness. Silver is a noble metal and stands for peace and sincerity.

Membership

  There are numerous ways to connect to Lady Godiva, and if you have a Gateway Ancestor – one who connects to a royal line – you most likely will be able to make the connection. If you have already joined another society which goes back to the Medieval Times, it may be easier for you to join. If you think you qualify, please complete, and E-mail the "Membership Request" form on the Contact Page. Our Genealogist General, Mr. Tracy Crocker, will need to know the name of your Gateway Ancestor. 



Gateway Ancestors

As new information comes to light every day, The Society retains the right to accept or turn down a line based on the most current genealogical research. This is a work in progress and new lineages will be added or dropped as is necessary: *Future inquiries for these ancestors should be directed to the Genealogist General: Genealogist@tracycrocker.com
