Documentation Required
To qualify as a Crusader Class member:

To qualify as an Outremer Class member:
- Petitioners must attach a proven lineage from an ancestor who resided in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem. Because Outremer membership is based on descent, it is important that the genealogical proofs submitted be clear and authoritative. You may submit more than one line of descent. There is a genealogist fee of $5 per generation submitted for review.
To qualify as a Pilgrim Class member:
- Petitioners must submit documentation showing proof of pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
