Once the applicant has been approved for Order of the Caswell Descendants, a certificate shall be presented at a special ceremony honoring the memory of the Caswell Family. Their name shall be added to the Book of Caswell Descendants and kept at Heritage Place, Lenoir Community College in Kinston, North Carolina.

Some document linking each generation to the previous one will be required. There are many sources for this information in addition to birth, death and marriage certificates. Documentation for prior generations may include state census schedules, obituaries, church records, and many more. Note: You may be approved by submitting a prior approved application in which you would provide the documentation from where your line splits (i.e. a grand child may go in on the approved application of a grandparent only providing the documentation of the parents and herself/himself).
