A Lineage Society  The SAR is a "lineage" society. This means that each member has traced their family tree back to a point of having an ancestor who supported the cause of  American Independence during the years 1774-1783. Membership in the SAR is open to any man eighteen years or over, who is a lineal descendant of an ancestor who supported the war for American Independence.

Do You Have A Patriot Ancestor? Considering the numerical possibilities of a person having a Patriot ancestor, it could be very likely that there is one in your family  line. If you are not sure whether any of your ancestors lived in the United States during the Revolution or whether they contributed to the cause of the Revolution, don't lose heart. The members of the Flagler Chapter SAR will assist you with your linage research and help you to find your Patriot if you have one. Getting Started  Many prospective members, while they might consider joining the SAR, are often hesitant over the prospect of doing their own genealogy, obtaining the necessary proof and completing the application requirements. If you have little or no experience with Genealogy, doing the SAR research can be a daunting prospect. At the Flagler Chapter, we can fully appreciate this and that is why one of our members is always assigned to each prospective member to assist them with the research process. Learning about your ancestors and your family line with the help of our Chapter members, can be a really fun and interesting experience. Establishing with the SAR, one of your ancestors as a Revolutionary Patriot, is a way for you to honor a family member as one who contributed to the founding of the United States of America. So why not stop by and visit us at a monthly meeting or give us a call and let’s talk about your possible Patriot.
