A small correction. There is no such thing as a Shri Vaishnava Family 
or a non-SV family. Only varnams are family based. One becomes a Shri 
Vaishnava only by qualities and acharya kadaksham. And as you rightly 
said, an Acharya is the right judge to perform a samashrayanam 
anyways.

Adiyen,
Ramanuja Dasan.
