Source:The DAR Genealogical Research System

The DAR Genealogical Research System is a combination of several databases created in recent years to organize the large quantity of information that the DAR has collected since its inception in 1890. Much of the work to create these research tools is the direct result of funding provided by the President General’s Project of the administrations of Linda Tinker Watkins (2001-2004) and Presley Merritt Wagoner (2004-2007). This system of databases will continue to expand as new information is added.

Access to the various databases is through the “tabs” along the top of the search screen. The databases are:

• Ancestors: Revolutionary War Patriots whose service and identity have been established.
• DAR member: (search by national number)
• Descendants: an index of names found on DAR applications, useful to identify a particular lineage. A "Record Copy" can be ordered from DAR of a specific lineage. Not all applications have been indexed.
• Genealogical Research Committee (GRC) materials. Typescripts, manuscripts, etc. of sources for particular lineages. Not all materials have been indexed.
• Resources: Revolutionary Pension Extract Card Index, and links to outside genealogy sites
• Library Catalog
