Becoming A Member

The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, founded in 1890, is a service organization dedicated to  service to the nation. Its objectives are historic preservation,  promotion of education, and patriotic endeavor.  Membership in the NSDAR is a unique opportunity to establish one's lineage and heritage as a  descendent of a patriot of the American Revolution.  Applicants  interested in participating in the historical, educational, and  patriotic activities of the NSDAR are welcome.

An applicant for membership must be no less than 18 years of age. She shall prove lineal, blood  line descent from an ancestor who aided in achieving American  independence.  She must provide documentation for each statement of  birth, marriage and death.
