You may find that some of your female relatives are/were in DAR during their lifetime. Check with your state DAR Chairperson. If you can find the DAR application for a relative, you can trace your lineage through there to qualify for membership in DAR. It's a great organization! My great-aunt was a member and her application was dated 1954. Those of us who follow our relatives need to take up these causes (DAR and SAR) so the organizations survive.

One may find them on records where one least expects to find an ancestor. Check the signers of petitions and statements and also the petitions for claims due to losses incurred during the war. Many widows made claims also. I have been trying to document descent from several patriots and get them onto the rolls. Hard, hard job with the broken links in lineage due to migration and burnt courthouses in several states. If you know that your ancestor was a participant as a soldier or gave goods and services for the cause, please document your lineage and join the DAR or SAR so that those honorable ancestors will be recognized.
