Please note, record copies only consist of the application. Rather than the original contact information (page 1), Record Copies include a shortened first page that contains the name of the member, the member’s national number, the date her application was approved for membership and the name of her patriot ancestor.
DAR provides copies of membership applications and supplemental applications (Record Copies) with complete images of the lineage page, the list of source citations and the description of the Revolutionary War service (pages 2, 3, and 4).
Most DAR applications consist of 4 pages. There was also a period of time where “Short Form Applications” were accepted with only a few listed generations instead of the complete lineage from the applicant to the patriot.Ĭopies of previously verified DAR membership applications (record copies) can be downloaded online ($10 per Record Copy) or ordered from the Library Copy Services Office using the Request for Record Copy form ($15 per Record Copy). Keep in mind that some previously verified applications may include little or no information because older forms from the 1890s or early to mid-20 th century were verified at a time when certain information was not required to be stated or proven. As long as there is no reason to believe that the lineage or service is incorrect on an older application paper, it can be used as genealogical documentation for future DAR applications. Previously verified DAR membership and supplemental applications can be used as genealogical research tools as well as documentation for new applications. Inside the Library: Users can search by name and location of birth. Recent generations will be restricted from view. Outside the Library: Users can search by name and location of birth. The purpose of the Descendants Database is to help those looking for a DAR Patriot or lineage to determine how much of their lineage has already been proven and to identify the best possible Record Copy to order. The Descendants database is an index of the names found on the lineage page of DAR Applications and Supplementals. Inside the Library: Users can search by the ancestor’s name, ancestor number, spouse’s name, and birth and death dates and places. Outside the Library: Users can search by the ancestor’s name, ancestor number, spouse’s name, and birth and death dates and places. The Ancestor’s record also includes a list of all of the DAR Applications and Supplementals that have been verified based on lineal descent from the ancestor. Each record includes the currently verified information about the patriot including: his/her dates of birth and death, spouse, location of residence, and a description of the Revolutionary War service claimed for the ancestor. The Ancestor Database is a searchable index of every Revolutionary War patriot who has been previously proven on a DAR Application or Supplemental Application. Revolutionary War Ancestor Records (Ancestor Database) Inside the Library: Users can search by member name, national number, and state of membership. Outside the Library: Search capabilities are extremely limited. These records include her name, the DAR chapter to which she belonged, and a list of the Revolutionary War patriots from whom she proved her descent. The Member Database of the GRS includes a basic record for every woman who has been a member of the DAR.

While the public version of the GRS is free and accessible from anywhere, researchers who use this collection from inside the DAR Library have access to additional search features, collections, and images that are not freely available outside the DAR Library. The DAR Genealogical Research System (GRS) combines a number of databases of DAR membership information into a single search interface. Whether you are looking for the record of a relative who was a DAR member you are a prospective DAR member looking for documentation to support your own application or you are trying to expand your own family tree, this part of the DAR Library collection can be an excellent resource to begin your research. Many researchers are interested in learning about specific lineages and Revolutionary War patriots who have been previously proven for the DAR.
