suggestions: 1. find out when and where your local chapter holds it's meetings. 2. attend the meeting as a guest......... 3. socialize after meeting, introduce yourself to some members. 4. find out who the secretary or historian is, find out what there procedures are for providing proof of ancestry. etc........ do u have your grandmothers letter of acceptance or her pin or member #? or a booklet, program showing her a member? hope this helps. kristina ps. if u are in virginia,............. and on the eastern side, then they meet in williamsburg several times a year.
