Daughters of the American Revolution - Lineage books

The National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution is one of the oldest organizations in the United States dedicated to the preservation of American Revolutionary War genealogies. This database, containing references to Revolutionary War ancestors and their descendants, was created from Lineage Books of the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution. These lineage books contain information submitted by tens of thousands of individuals with connections to Revolutionary War patriots. This collection now contains nearly 2.1 million names and is a valuable collection for anyone with ancestors who fought in the American Revolution.  As with any such contributed database of this size and scope, factual errors may exist in the data, particularly in the area of Revolutionary War Service. The National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution has gone to great effort to collect and improve upon this valuable collection of ancestral data with additions and corrections whenever possible. For more information regarding corrected or additional data, contact the Office of the Registrar General, NSDAR, 1776 D. Street, NW., Washington, D.C. 20006-5392.
