Anybody here a member or know a member? I am considering joining. But don’t know if it’s worth it.

Be a descendent, legitimate or illegitimate, of a participant in the American Revolution.

My daughters are elgible for DAR and my sister has the documentation but we never completed it. Not sure the value other than cool. Could be viewed as a negative in some woke circles.

I just started looking at it. I surely don’t know a lot. I saw some stuff about expectations. Reminded me of work. Increase revenue income by 10 or 15 percent a year. Same with new memberships. Out reach programs. Schools and other areas to expand and spread the word. Probably not worth it to me

I don't know where my mutt of a family came from but doubt many were here then. Some of the German side barely got here before WW1

Parts of my family was here before the Revolution, but most got here in the early 1800s.

Some of my family were “Loyalists” and fled the US after the Revolutionary War as they were given free land in the Bahamas. They eventually came back though. I hope it doesn’t make me unpatriotic.

Fight in a bloody revolution against the worlds strongest super power or go to the Bahamas. Sounds pragmatic. |

I mean I'd have gone to the Bahamas. 250 years later I'm still trying to go to the Bahamas |

My great great whatever lead American troops against Indian loyalists. Then ended up marrying one after the war.... Who knows what all happened |
