Do you have a Revolutionary Patriot in your family
tree? To become a member, a
woman must be at least 18 years old and be able to prove blood descent
from a person who rendered patriotic service during the American
Revolution. Membership
in the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) honors and preserves
the legacy of your Patriot ancestor. Your ancestor did not
have
to fight in the American Revolution for you to be eligible.
Perhaps he/she provided food or shelter for the troops or was
a
citizen who signed a oath of allegiance to the new country.
Many
contributions are acceptable. Here is a link to more information.
Over
two hundred years ago, American Patriots fought and sacrificed for the
freedoms we enjoy today. As a member of DAR, through participation in
the Society’s various programs and activities, you can continue this
legacy by actively supporting historic preservation, promotion of
education, and patriotic endeavors.
Membership in DAR is very
rewarding. If
you think you are eligible, come to one of our meetings or send an
e-mail to our registrar.
Many of our members are willing to help you find ways to document your
lineage. Did you know that if you have a relative who is or
was a
member, the process of joining is simplified?
Below
are some local names to start you on your journey. We're anxious to meet you and have
you be a part of our chapter.
