Genealogy Research

Do you need help with identifying your patriot, completing your application or not sure where to start?

Please feel free to contact us. We will be pleased to assist in the membership process and help you find ways to document your lineage.

If you are comfortable, you may use our prepared genealogy Pedigree Chart (PDF).

The quickest and easiest way to find out if someone has registered your patriot – and joined DAR – is to do an online search of the DAR database. If you don’t find your ancestor in our National database, that does not mean he or she did not serve – it just means no ancestor has documented their service through DAR – which gives you the honor of being the first to do so.

The registration process can seem a bit daunting, but do not despair. You are not alone. If you would like someone from our chapter to answer questions and help you get started, please fill out our contact form. Our chapter registrar, Elsie Dietzmann, or someone from her dedicated team will contact you.
