For New and Existing Members, please see the page for SAR Genealogy Policies.

We have three lists of SAR contacts who may be able to help you. Please click on the appropriate link below for further assistance:

New Member Helpers
For men who are interested in joining the SAR, please go to this list, and click on the link for your state or region. The gentlemen on this list will refer you to a local chapter, and may be able to offer other assistance and guidance in the preparation of your application for membership. Click on the above link for a list of New Member Helpers.

State Society Points of Contact
Has it been a while since you submitted your application? If you have submitted a new application, or are already a member and have submitted a supplemental application, and it has been more than ten weeks since your application was received by the National Society, please contact the appropriate point of contact for your state or region to inquire about the status of your new or supplemental application. Click on the above link for a list of State Society Points of Contact.

SAR Genealogy Assistants
SAR Genealogy Assistants offer more "hands on" help than New Member Helpers. SAR Genealogy Assistants take an active role in researching and compiling applications for new members, who may have limited or no experience in genealogical research or in preparing an application for a lineage society. The degree to which an SAR Genealogy Assistant can assist a potential new member will vary based on the specific needs of the potential new member.
