Membership

More than two centuries ago, American colonists sacrificed their lives and fortunes to gain independence from the British Crown, leaving a legacy for the American people. By joining the DAR, you can help preserve that legacy by supporting the National Society's efforts to promote patriotism, preserve American history, and secure America’s future through better education for children.

In addition to military service, you are eligible if your ancestor supported the cause in any way, such as providing food, supplies, or medical aid.  To determine eligibility, you must collect documents for yourself, your parents, grandparents, and possibly great-grandparents.

The Pennsylvania State Society, Daughters of the American Revolution (PSSDAR), has 94 chapters, and volunteers are available to assist you with your research if needed.
