An overlooked resource is the databases available online with the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution). In their Ancestor Database, the simple-style search form has you place a surname and given name for an ancestor who might have served in the military or as a civilian during the American Revolution.

The following blog post is written by NYG&B President D. Joshua Taylor. If you are interested in hearing even more about this topic from Joshua, watch our free webinar on this subject at the bottom of this article. I first came across the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) as a young genealogist, when at age 10 I learned of my grandmother’s membership in the DAR. Her mother (my great-grandmother) was active in her state chapter, and her mother (my second great-grandmother) and grandmother (my third great-grandmother) were also members.

Being a Page for the Daughters of the American Revolution has a specific dress code. So, I thought it would be helpful to share what I wore to be a page at the Illinois Daughters of the American Revolution State Conference this year! For all of the ladies who are interested in or are thinking about Paging for this wonderful society, it does not cost a lot of money to purchase all white outfits and Paging is an awesome opportunity! Here are the ensembles I wore while Paging at this year's conference! Dress codes rules for Paging varies from state-to-state and whether you are Paging at Continental Congress (the national conference in Washington, D.C.). In Illinois, Pages wearing a white knee-length dress or top and skirt during the daytime events. Because the Illinois state convention is in the middle of April and generally the weather is not the warmest, I wore a cute ruffled white sweater and skirt (you can find my exact skirt in the link here). I already owned the sweater when I started Paging which just goes to show how versatile having white pieces of clothing as a part of your wardrobe. Also, using a sweater I already owned made the Paging process much more affordable and less stressful because I already knew I had something I could wear! It is also a good idea to wear white flat shoes during the daytime events and meetings because you are standing mostly and walking around a ton! This is a brand new ankle-length white dress from Shein (I found the link for my exact dress here!). The quality of material on this dress was perfect for the evening sessions we had and the ruffle sleeves add just the right flair to the overall look. Beside all of that, the ankle-length really allowed me to move around easily without getting caught up in a long skirt. This evening gown is a re-peat from Paging at last year's convention (another affordable way to Page). I love this gown because of the flowing skirt! It also allows me to move with ease, but it is a bit longer than my other gown so getting up and down stairs is always a bit trickier. Otherwise, the lace like sleeves make for a very timeless look! I am not sure if this is EXACT dress I purchased, but I did find a similar gown on Amazon here, which is where I bought the one I wore. Last but not least, the shoes to wear with your evening gowns (you can find them here)! If you are interested in being more comfortable you could always just wear white sneakers, but I chose to wear a cute pair of white heels. These classic heels I found on Amazon, and let me just say that they were SO comfortable! The block shaped heels were very sturdy and gave me great comfort in knowing I wouldn't fall. If you are a member of the Daughters of the American revolution and you are interested in Paging, I would highly recommend giving it a try! It is so much fun and you will make so many memories! If you are not a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and you are interested in becoming a member, check out their website here! Much Love, Sarah

My first experience with the Daughters of the American Revolution was at the very beginning of my family research. As a matter of fact, the DAR was there to help me solve the very first mystery that drove me crazy for weeks about my great-great grandmother Eliza. I had no idea that Eliza even existed. She died at the young age of 24 in 1872 in Rosamond, Illinois (population 205), and before vital records were required by the state. It wasn’t until I found a tattered letter in the bottom of my mother’s files where I read the story of the early death of Eliza. The letter also mentioned the cemetery where she was buried, but that was 132 years ago and a lot of time to erode the etchings on the oversized headstone. When I called the county’s chamber of commerce, they gave me the name of a local man who was the caretaker of this small but mythical cemetery. Upon returning my phone call, he first shuffled some papers and immediately confirmed that he did have a record of Eliza being buried at the Rosamond Cemetery in 1872. In fact, he explained to me how the DAR spent time in 1962 recording every headstone in the cemetery and it was the only record he had with an index of older graves. 1962 may sound like yesterday, but every year that goes by is another year for the outside elements to wear away the script on the headstone. And 50 years later, her marker is barely legible. What the DAR did to record a 90 year old headstone is monumental to my family research today. The Daughters of the America Revolution is a truly amazing organization with dedicated volunteers and a commitment to preserving our American History, including mine. And best of all, our family was lucky enough to have a Patriot that fought in the American Revolution. I was able to document this Patriot, apply to the DAR, and successfully be accepted as a member within a month of my first contact. Based on what I have learned about the process of applying to become a member of the DAR, here are some tips I can offer up for a successful outcome. Visit the national Daughters of the American Revolution website to verify if your Patriot has already been documented. If your Patriot is listed in the index, you can then buy the lineage report that details how far down the line the society has proven records. This will tell you which ancestor in your line that you need to start documenting. Determine which local chapter you are interested in applying through. Each chapter’s rules for applying are different. I filed my application in Chicago and it was a very easy process where I was able to send all the documents via email. I didn’t even have to print anything out. The historian filled out the application for me and federal expressed it to me for my signature. I was approved in all of 4 weeks. However, I also have worked on a membership for a client in a very small town in Mississippi. This local MS chapter didn’t have a budget for paper, so I had to mail 2 copies of every document. We were approved in less than 2 months. Do your legwork up front before applying. Gather all your documents for each generation and make sure you have them scanned into your computer in file folders. I strongly recommend you save and send every census record for each ancestor too. These may or may not be needed, but I have learned over time that it is better to include everything, otherwise there can be delays due to additional documents needed. Each generation that requires documents needs to show clear proof of a connection to their parents. Government Vital Records (Birth, Marriage and Death certificates) are required for each generation. Once you get far enough back where vitals were not mandated by the state, then records with clear proof of a family connection to the prior generation need to be found. This can be in the form of Wills, Land Records, Newspaper Obituaries, Pension Records, and Bible Records (as long as you have the original bible in your possession). Effective January 1, 2014, the DAR will accept Y-DNA as a supplemental tool of lineage. Be patient and don’t get frustrated. Delays are inevitable as you need to completely satisfy the society that you are tracing the correct lineage. But the reward is worth the wait, and your descendants will thank you for your hard work in passing down this bit of family history.

This past weekend, my Mom and I attended the Illinois Daughters of the 2019 American Revolution State Conference. Every year members of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution gather together to celebrate historic preservation, education, and patriotism. If you are not a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, check out how you can become a member here! Anyway, my Mother and I are lucky to be apart of this wonderful society and a equally wonderful local chapter! Last year was the first time I had Paged at the state conference because I was a new member. However, after Paging last year I knew I wanted to come back this year and do it all again! Everything about being a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution is amazing, but getting together with a large group of ladies who are also invested in this organization makes the conference a ton of fun! In today's post, I want to share a little bit out the weekend and encourage other ladies to see if they can join the Daughters of the American Revolution. For the guys, there is the Sons of the American Revolution, and for both boys and girls under the age of 18-years-old there is the Children of the American Revolution. I would highly recommend checking to see if you are eligible to join any of these organizations because they are all wonderful and do amazing things! Day 1 My Mom and I. Processing in one of several different historical flags. One of the best parts of paging for the Daughters of the American Revolution is that you get to carry different flags into meetings and events. This year, I carried the Illinois state flag and several historical flags. Besides having the honor of processing in and out flags, pages also get to help the ladies process into the room and up and off the stage. This provides so many opportunities to get to know more people and to work alongside other pages. The processions are always so grand and fantastic to be apart of! Another element of paging that is particularly fun to me is the challenge of finding cute all white ensembles! We have a dress code that requires pages to wear all white at all times with white gloves. The only time a glove is removed is when the National Anthem is played. In addition, in the afternoons we wear knee-length dresses/skirts and in the evenings we wear all white evening gowns. I love the all white outfits (even if it isn't my best color) because so many of the pages have lovely details that makes their ensembles unique while adhering to the dress code. As a fan of all fashion, this is like my Super Bowl! There is so much creativity given to little elements like a bow here or a ruffle there and it really livens up the white outfits! The Illinois State Regent's preservation project was to plant gardens that would promote the population in Monarch Butterflies. All of the beautiful decorations were butterfly related and gave the conference a very springtime feel! The preservation project was a massive success, and the wonderful ladies of the Illinois Daughters of the American Revolution put their hearts into helping the Monarch Butterfly! Mom and I selfie time!!! Day 2 Day two was the day I carried the Illinois State flag for the first time! To say I was excited would be an understatement! Carrying in a flag is always an honor, but I had never had the opportunity to present the Illinois state flag yet so this was amazing! Something else I am thankful to have been apart of was helping put together the table decorations for the evening banquet! I was not the brains behind this beautiful design, but I did help set it all up. Sitting in a dimly lit room with these gorgeous center pieces really made the evening extra special! Mom and I at the Illinois Daughters of the American Revolution State Conference banquet! One of my favorite aspects of being a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution is the community it creates. The members who come to the annual states conference may not see each other often because of the distance between chapters, but when everyone gets together at the state conference people just pick up where they left off! There are so many friendships that come out of being a member! Being a Page is also creates a sisterhood among the ladies who participate. Working alongside one another creates friendship and camaraderie that last far beyond just the weekend spent at conference! The ladies who return each year know one another and grow together both as individuals and as patriots. Although two days go by quickly, it is always a blessing to spend those days with the ladies of the Daughters of the American Revolution! There is nothing quite like this organization and the causes they champion are really amazing! After all of the excitement this weekend, I just cannot wait until next year! Maybe I will see some of my Faintly Familiar readers there, too. Much Love, Sarah
