Daughters of the American Revolution
I have assembled the list of my ancestors who have been officially listed in the DAR. These are my Grandfathers who fought for our independence and are officially recognized for it. If you would like to join the DAR, and any of these man are also your Grandfather, then they qualify you to be a candidate. Here is the list as it stands today. It will be updated as I go along and hopefully discover more.
