http://www.hqudc.org/ I stand corrected; sorry for all the discussion I've created...I am the farthest one for being perfect...Try going to where it says "Divisons and Chapters Where No Divisions" and there I think you may find where you might go to seek assistance.... Took this from the website: It is the oldest patriotic organization in our country because of its connection with two statewide organizations that came into existence 'as early as 1890' -- the Daughters of the Confederacy (DOC) in Missouri and the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Confederate Soldiers Home in Tennessee. And this came from the DAR website: http://www.dar.org/natsociety/whoweare.cfm The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded on October 11, 1890 So, I'm not going to touch this distinction with a discussion because unless we can get down to the month and day in 1890 in which those ladies in Missouri and Tennesee, actually conceived and 'documented' the day the UDC was created, we really don't know which organization existed before the other...I think the important thing is that both were created and exist today. Hope this top website helps and sorry about giving bad information.

Yes, I just re-read some of the emails.. The DAR and UDC aren't connected and do not share information... However if anyone is interested in the DAR, please contact me.

I also stand (or sit) corrected. I am surprised to discover that the DAR was founded that late. I guess I should have said that most of those in the UDC might also be members of the DAR, since they are both hereditary groups, and folks eligible for the UDC, and likely to join, would probably also be eligible for the DAR, and equally likely to join that group.
