This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EeB.2ACE/412.2.1 Message Board Post: The SAR is for men and the DAR is for women but they have similar requirements and objectives. They are patriotic societies that try to preserve our national heritage. Members join as descendants of soldiers or patriots who served in the American Revolution. There is probably a DAR Chapter near you if you inquire at your local library. Robert Nave
