Well, our ancestors had to fight
somebody!! 
Yes, I'm a Daughter of the American Revolution, and a member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and several other lineage societies that y'all probably never heard of.
If you have an ancestor who either served in the American Revolution, or gave Patriotic service to the American troops, and can prove your lineage, you are eligible for the DAR. If you don't know someone in your town personally, go to
www.dar.org and let them know that you're in search of a chapter! If you're in Southwestern PA and don't ask me, I will take it personally and cry for days!
My chapter office is Registrar; that means I help people fill out their applications, prove their lineage, and give workshops on genealogical lineages. I would be happy to help anyone on GreekChat with any genealogical questions/problems.
FYI, if you even
suspect that you have an ancestor who may have served, I have the Patriot Index for those men & women who have already been proven Patriots in my hot little hands! Just let me know & I'll look 'em up!
AOTT Silver is also a member of the DAR; I don't know about anyone else here?
And no, I'm not going to the Convention in March. I have three workshops to manage, and would like to take the "new & improved" Lineage Workshop in DC in May. *cross fingers*
