On the Road

Can you tell I'm not at school? Yes, I am still away from my home base. Last weekend, the American Library Association, this weekend (still in DC) the Daughters of the American Revolution. The DAR is the largest womens civic group in the United States.

It isn't your grandmothers DAR anymore.

The membership consists of women from a variety of ethnic, religious and social classes - all bound together by their love of country and their willingness to work for the good of others!

Yes, to join, a woman needs to be able to document her lineal relationship to a person (either man or woman) who supported the American Revolution.

Look in GALILEO under Arts and Humanities, History- 32 resources are available to help you link to your Revolutionary era ancestor. Ask your Georgia librarian for help using Ancestry.com (available in every Georgia public library and Technical College Library).
