[Genealib] DAR

[Sutton, Linda]

  Interesting, my mother, who was a CAR (Children of the American
  Revolution) was told that she would have to reprove her CAR
  application to become a DAR; even though her mother, aunt, and
  grandmother had been members of the DAR and their membership
  numbers were on her application. She was upset about that and has
  not attempted to join since and at her age may never do so.
   
  Does this vary by state or chapter?

    I am a DAR member and have been Registrar
    for my chapter, having helped oodles of ladies complete their
    applications.  I have also attended a week long, intensive
    training
    session at DAR on the requirements for completing applications
    and conduct
    workshops on how to join DAR.

     

    You do not have to re-prove generations
    that have already been documented.  You can just refer to the
    DAR National
    number of the person that you are related to and that will
    suffice for
    documentation.  I

     

    It is true that DAR will not accept SAR
    applications as documentation.

    Hi:

    Actually DAR and SAR requirements are NOT THE SAME.  Often time
    in SAR you
    are allowed to join on your Father or Grandfather   but in DAR
    you
    must re-prove each Step.. Record copies of SAR application that
    have been
    approved are usually questioned and not accepted by the DAR  in
    these
    later years.. It is still the wiser decision to contact the
    National
    Organizations eac.. individually  www.SAR.ORG 
    for the updated versions. Steve

SAR's requirements are the same as DAR except you only have to prove the

bloodline back to the patriot.

Wanda, I don't have handouts, but I normally refer potential members to

the local DAR chapter and give them the excellent DAR web site because

the Society has specific procedures and requirements for membership. I

haven't been asked about SAR membership yet.

Do any of you have handouts with resources that you give to customers

who are trying to get into the DAR or SAR?  Would you please share.



Thanks.
