Membership in the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) is a unique opportunity to establish lineage and heritage as a descendant of a Revolutionary War patriot. Volunteering through the DAR is an effective way to honor our Revolutionary War patriot ancestors, recognize their roles in establishing the United States of America, and carry forth their purpose of American freedom. You must prove lineal, bloodline descent from an ancestor by providing documentation for each statement of birth, marriage, and death, as well as of the Revolutionary War service of your patriot ancestor.
