Since its founding in 1896,
the DAR Library has
grown into a specialized
collection of American
genealogical and historical
manuscripts and publications.
What better way to honor one’s lineage and heritage as a descendant of a Patriot of the American Revolution than to become a member of the DAR? The Jacob Forney Chapter, NSDAR, welcomes new members at any time throughout the year. Membership is dependent on one’s ability to provide documentation of birth, marriage, and death of Patriots and their descendants. Any woman 18 years or older, regardless of race, religion, or ethnic background, who can prove lineal descent from a Patriot of the American Revolution is eligible for membership.
A Patriot is anyone who supported the cause for American independence through military, civil, or patriotic service, which must have occurred during the period between April 19, 1775, and November 26, 1783. For a list of acceptable service see the Accepted Revolutionary War Service page for more information.
Members of DAR are a vibrant and active group of women who are passionate about performing service to their community, preserving history, and educating children. In addition, the DAR woman honors and supports those who serve our nation.
