The Daughters of the American Revolution: A Legacy of Patriotism
The DAR is more than just a lineage society; it’s a vibrant community of women dedicated to preserving the memory of their Patriot Ancestors and promoting education and patriotism. To join their ranks, you must demonstrate direct descent from an individual who aided the American cause during the Revolutionary War.
But who qualifies as a Patriot Ancestor? The answer is broader than you might think. While soldiers who fought in the Continental Army or local militias certainly qualify, so do many others who contributed in diverse ways:
Providers of Sustenance: Farmers and merchants who supplied food, clothing, and equipment to the troops.
Healers and Comforters: Nurses who tended to the wounded and those who offered shelter and aid to soldiers.
Community Leaders: Ministers who inspired patriotic fervor, legislators who shaped the course of the revolution, and judges who upheld the principles of liberty.
Behind-the-Scenes Heroes: Individuals who provided financial support, intelligence, or other crucial services.
Embarking on Your DAR Quest: A Step-by-Step Guide
The journey to DAR membership is one of discovery and meticulous documentation. Here’s a roadmap to guide you:
Trace Your Family Tree
Begin by constructing a comprehensive family tree, extending back to the Revolutionary War period. Explore online resources, census records, and family documents to identify potential Patriot Ancestors.
Engage with Your Local DAR Chapter
Your local chapter is an invaluable resource. They can provide personalized guidance, answer your questions, and connect you with experienced members who can offer support and encouragement.
Gather Compelling Evidence
To prove your lineage, you’ll need to assemble a chain of documentation connecting each generation back to your Patriot Ancestor. This may include birth certificates, marriage licenses, death records, wills, land deeds, census records, and military records.
Craft a Thorough Application
Work closely with your chapter representative to complete the DAR application accurately and comprehensively. Ensure that all documentation is properly cited and organized.
Await the Verdict
Once submitted, your application will undergo a rigorous review process at the local, state, and national levels. Be patient, as this can take several weeks or even months.
