Q: My brother is a SAR, can I use his application?
A:

No, DAR does not utilize applications of other hereditary societies. DAR requires the use of its specific application and submission of proof documentation which is entered into the DAR Library's collection of genealogical histories. For more information about DAR membership click here.

Q: I'm adopted can I still become a member?
A:

Yes, but only through your birth parents' lineage, not that of your adopted family. All lineage for DAR membership must be bloodline descent. For more information about DAR membership click here.

Q: My patriot is listed in your library; do I still need to complete an application?
A:

Yes, each member is required to complete an application which is included in the genealogical files. For more information about DAR membership click here.
