How to Join Us/Our Ancestors

    We are descendants of those who fought in, were civil servants in, or helped finance the Revolutionary War. The easiest way to become a Daughter of the American Revolution is to join through the genealogy of a close relative who is a member.  If so, you may need only your birth and marriage certificates, and perhaps those of your parents.

    For the list of our ancestors, not necessarily yours, please scroll down to the bottom of the page.  If you find your ancestor among them, you are related to some of our members.  This list contains only the ancestors of members of our chapter.

    If your family lore tells of an ancestor who fought in the Revolutionary War, or provided patriotic service in some way during the Revolution by supplying food or clothing to American troops, or by signing an Oath of Allegiance, we can help you find him.  If you know his name, we can look him up in the Patriot Index.  If he is not there, it just means that no other Daughter has him as an ancestor.  He may have had a military pension.  This can be found.  It may take a bit of detective work.   The DAR library in Washington, DC, has a treasure trove of genealogical information.

    Our chapter's registrar can help you document your lineage.  She has experience in this area and knows what you will need and where to find the information.  Census and other records in the Pennsylvania Room at the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh are a great help, too.

    If you think you may have a Revolutionary War ancestor, and that you might like to join our DAR chapter, please e-mail us and we will arrange for you to attend one of our meetings.
