MEMBERSHIPDo you have an American Patriot in your family tree?
When you join the DAR, you enter a network of more than 185,000 women who form lifelong friendships, honor their revolutionary ancestors and promote historic preservation, education and patriotism within their communities. Brooklyn Chapter, NSDAR, is comprised of over 50 enthusiastic, welcoming members who live throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan. Our members come from diverse backgrounds, have a variety of interests, and share a unique common bond in our lineal descent. Become a member! Any woman is eligible for membership who is no less than 18 years of age and can prove lineal, bloodline descent from an ancestor who aided in achieving American independence between the Battle of Lexington (April 19, 1775) and the withdrawal of British troops from New York on November 26, 1783. She must provide documentation for generation. Anyone who identifies as female, regardless of race, religion or ethnic background, who can prove this lineage is eligible to join. We encourage you to visit the DAR website for more information on how to get started with your application! You may also have a family member who is or was a DAR member through whom you can apply.
