Lineage Societies

Daughters of the American Revolution
dar.org
Membership is limited to those who can trace their family tree back to a Revolutionary War patriot. If you aren't sure whether DAR recognizes your ancestor, fill out the on-site lookup form. A DAR volunteer will check the records at no charge to you.

General Society of the War of 1812
www.societyofthewarof1812.org
Men who are descended from a War of 1812 participant can join this society. The site is a good source for links to other War of 1812 resources; it also lists the group's publications and affiliated state societies.

The Mayflower Society
www.mayflower.org
If you can prove your descent from one of the Pilgrims on board the 1620 voyage of the Mayflower, you may want to join this well-known society. Fill out the on-site preliminary review form; after your form is reviewed, you'll receive instructions about the membership process.
