The names contained in this database are from the NSSAR Revolutionary War Graves Book and CD, and from the NSSAR Patriot Index CD, which was last updated in 2002.

Neither of these sources are acceptable as proof of service for an SAR application.
You must still find the original reference to the service when submitting an SAR application.

Search the NSSAR Index

If the source of your name listed under "Quality" says "SAR appl", you can order a copy of that application for $10.00 by using the: Record Copy Request Form

As a secondary resource, the DAR has a system of volunteers who will check the DAR Patriot Index for your Patriot. This page can be found here: DAR Patriot Lookup
