Hi, To belong to the Daughters of 1812 is just like belonging to DAR. You must be able to prove with documentation that you are descended from an ancestor who fought or served between 1783 and 1815. If their name is on a militia list that is dated in that time period than that is proof. You do not have to be asked to join. Just contact someone who lives near you who is a member. Where do you live? I am the State President of LA. Rachel ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

I have two obituaries stating my ancestor was a member of D.A.R. but no one I have contacted as of yet can find her membership number or whom she joined under so I cannot join as of yet.

Miss Christine; I presume you have searched the Dar membership volumes that are to be found in many libraries, surely including one near you, huh ? -----Original Message----- From: varoots-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:varoots-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of cristy Sent: Monday, May 21, 2007 5:36 PM To: varoots@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [VAROOTS] Daughters of 1812 I have two obituaries stating my ancestor was a member of D.A.R. but no one I have contacted as of yet can find her membership number or whom she joined under so I cannot join as of yet.

Christine - You could probably find out what chapter there was in the locale where your ancestor lived. Contact the state DAR where she lived. I'd be willing to bet they would be more than happy to help you track her down. After all, genealogists are known for keeping lots and lots of papers. If nothing else, they certainly could point you in the right direction. Good luck.
