Become an Onwentsia Member of the DAR
How do I join the DAR?
Any woman 18 years or older who can prove lineal, bloodline descent from an ancestor who aided in achieving American independence is eligible to join the DAR. She must provide documentation for each statement of birth, marriage and death, as well as of the Revolutionary War service of her Patriot ancestor.
DAR volunteers in the Onwentsia chapter can provide guidance and assistance with the application process. Admission to membership in the National Society is through a chapter or as a Member-At-Large.
Don't know where to start?
Fill out a Pedigree Chart (PDF) as completely as you can and bring it with you when you meet with the Onwentsia Chapter representative. She will be able to guide you through the application process. Please feel free to use the contact page to reach us.
