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.

DAR volunteers throughout the state can assist you with your application.  Contact our membership chairman and she will guide you to the next step to becoming a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
