DAR Ancestor
Search Database
The
ANCESTOR SEARCH DATABASE
was created by and is maintained by the staff of the DAR Office of the Registrar General. The data is
updated daily from verified membership applications and supplemental
applications. The Ancestor Database is part of the DAR Genealogical Research
System (GRS), a free resource provided by the
NATIONAL SOCIETY DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN
REVOLUTION
(DAR) to aid general genealogical research and to assist with the DAR
membership process. This collection of databases provides access to the many
materials amassed by the DAR since its founding in 1890.

Sons of the American Revolution
There is a separate organization for men called Sons of
the American Revolution (SAR). It is a historical, educational, and

pluribus unum" -- one nation and one people.
SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION
The American Flag was Adopted in 1777
The 50 stars on the American flag represent the 50 states of the United States of America. The 13 stripes represent the thirteen British colonies that declared independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain, becoming the first states in the Union - including Virginia. Nicknames for the flag include the "Stars and Stripes," "Old Glory," "The Red, White and Blue," and "The Star-Spangled Banner."
DAR publishes an informational Flag Code leaflet that describes the use and display of the American flag. DAR chapter members distribute American flags to new citizens at naturalization ceremonies, and provide Braille Flags to schools and institutions for the blind.
