Do you have a Revolutionary War patriot in your family tree?
Membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution [DAR] honors and preserves the legacy of our patriot ancestors. Over two hundred years ago, Americans sacrificed their lives and property for the freedoms that we enjoy today. As a member of DAR, you can honor their actions by supporting historic preservation programs, promoting educational activities, and participating in patriotic endeavors.
To be eligible for membership, you must be a woman who is at least 18 years of age and able to prove direct descent from a person who aided in achieving American independence during the period between 19 April 1775 and 26 November 1783. For more information about eligibility requirements and acceptable patriotic service, please review the DAR page. If you believe that you have an eligible patriot ancestor, DAR volunteers will check the DAR Patriot Index to see if your ancestor is recognized as a Revolutionary Patriot.
