Any woman 18 years or older who can prove lineal, bloodline descent from an ancestor who aided in achieving American independence is eligible to join the DAR. She must provide documentation for each statement of birth, marriage, and death, as well as of the Revolutionary War service of her Patriot ancestor.

Please do not think you have to do all this research by yourself! There are thousands of already identified DAR Patriots, and you may be descended from one of these proven Patriots. This website is intended only to assist with your research for the DAR membership process: Become a Member.

DAR volunteers in chapters throughout the country can provide guidance and assistance with the application process. Admission to membership in the National Society is through a chapter or as a Member-At-Large.

By completing the application process you will discover what countless other DAR members have discovered; the thrill of finding out how their ancestor helped to achieve American independence and a deeper appreciation of how what they did impacts our way of life today.
