Genealogy Resources
The SAR is a lineage society, meaning each member has traced their lineal ancestry back to an ancestor who was either a Revolutionary War Soldier or a Revolutionary War Patriot.
As such, genealogy/genealogical research is an important part of proving your lineal descendant from a Revolutionary War Soldier or Patriot.
