Mary, I have just completed my application for DAR to join under my grandmother's membership. I had to provide my birth certificate, marriage certificate, my husband's birth cert., in addition to birth, marriage and death records back to and including my grandparents. On the DAR site, it lists suggested sources for documentation. The url is: http://www.dar.org/cgi-bin/natsociety/content.cfm?ID=93&hd=n&FO=Y I hope this helps some!
