MEMBERSHIP
The SAR is a lineage organization for males of all ages who are able to
prove blood descent back to an ancestor who contributed in some way to
the cause of American Independence. Contributions range from military
service, providing supplies to the military, administering to the
wounded, and other support roles to the cause contributed by a male or
female ancestor. If you have a relative who is or was a member of the
SAR or DAR, that might make it easier for you to become a member.
More information on membership qualifications and a worksheet to get
you started are available at National Society Sons of the American
Revolution website.

There are Illinois compatriots who are willing to help you with your
application and they will be glad to assist you. If you are
already an SAR member-at-large or outside a chapter area, you can join
any nearby chapter.
