You do not need to complete an application worksheet before attending a chapter meeting. You do not even need to have identified your patriot ancestor. By attending a local chapter meeting, you will meet DAR members who have the experience to assist you in obtaining your goal of DAR membership.

Application Process

For the application, you will need to provide proof of vital links for each generation, starting with yourself then going back lineally to your patriot. The chapter registrar or chapter lineage research chairman can help explain the types of documentation needed. You can go to the NSDAR Genealogy webpage for more information.
