Presentation Overview: America at 250! 
Researching Your Revolutionary Ancestors

2026 marks the 250-year anniversary of America’s signing of the Declaration of
Independence. At the time of America’s independence, the population of the
American colonies was about 2.5 million. While 1776 is a pivotal year, the war
for independence (the Revolutionary War) was fought from 1775-1783. About
200 thousand Americans served in the Patriots’ cause in some capacity.
This presentation will provide a deep dive into discovering and researching
your revolutionary ancestors. It will cover the top resources, strategies,
websites, libraries, archives, and organizations for learning more about your
ancestors at our nation’s founding. Resources and documents available at the
National Archives, DAR, SAR, as well as state and local organizations will be
included. The presentation will also reveal that many colonists did not support
independence and supported the British/Tory cause. It is an exciting time to
jump in and learn as much as you can about your revolutionary ancestors.
