The Abraham Baldwin Chapter,
National Society Daughters of the American Revolution
(NSDAR or DAR), is eager to answer your
questions and help you along the path to becoming a member of
the DAR.
Join The DAR
Any woman is eligible for membership who is at least
eighteen years of age and can prove lineal, bloodline descent
from an ancestor who aided in achieving American
independence.
Contact
us and ask how you can be a
member of this wonderful organization.
Help is
available to ascertain if you are qualified to join the DAR
by seeing if you have a Patriot who served during the
American Revolutionary War in your ancestry.
The NSDAR maintains records of Patriots which can be
searched by the local chapter to see if your ancestors are
listed. We will also help to establish your link to a
Patriot.
