Our Patriot Ancestors
All of our Patriot ancestors have fascinating stories and backgrounds. Part of being a Daughter is the adventure of researching an ancestor. If you think you may have an ancestor that served as part of the American Revolutionary War and you are interested in becoming a DAR member, we would love to hear from you. We will gladly assist you with your research and get you started on a journey through history. Photo courtesy of the public domain.
