Genealogy

The Sons of the America Revolution is a lineage society. As such, genealogy is of fundamental importance to the society and its members. Most members have spent significant time researching and proving their lineage back to at least one, and in some cases, multiple patriots. Below is a list of local and online resources that may be helpful for conducting genealogical research. DCSSAR can also provide a New Member Helper to assist with geneology questions and your Sons of the American Revolution application.
