[Genealib] DAR

I, too, am Registrar for my DAR chapter. While I have never had the
opportunity to move a C.A.R. member into DAR, I think there was probably a
misunderstanding of what was meant when your mother was told that. More than
likely, what was meant was that she needed to fill out a DAR application. As
the C.A.R. application was not appropriate to DAR and that DAR would not
have had the documentation that had been sent in with it. That documentation
would belong to C.A.R.

Basically, she could have copied her C.A.R. application info into the
appropriate spaces on the DAR app and sent to DAR whatever documentation DAR
did not already have. i.e. her birth cert., perhaps her marriage cert. and
her husband's documentation.

If anyone wanting to join DAR would talk to the Registrar of a chapter the
requirements could be easily explained. Much easier than trying to write a
generic document to cover every possible situation. And there are some
unusual circumstances out there that cannot be covered by a general
description.

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.
