The meeting will begin with an overview of the DAR as an organization and then explain how to go about completing your application to become a member, followed by the opportunity to meet one on one with a chapter member knowledgeable in research
and the application process to help you get started. We will present some tips and tricks for genealogical research, including using the DAR database as a research tool.
What should you bring?
Bring a simple lineage chart with names, birth dates & location, death dates & location, marriage dates & location (as much as you know) starting with yourself, your parents, your grandparents ..... as far back as you can. If you have identified your patriot
ancestor, bring what you know of his or her name and vital statistics (birth & death dates and locations & Revolutionary service information).
