All one has to do to join DAR is to have an ancestor who was a patriot or 
citizen during the revolutionary period (which I believe extends beyond the 
period of the acutal war) and contact your local or state DAR society for the 
work sheets that will tell you the process and proof needed.  If you are 
lucky, one of your "kin" is already a member, which makes the paper work a 
little easier.  The registar of your chapter will be happy to work with you 
on obtaining proof.  I am a DAR member who started from scratch - none of my 
other "cousins" are members.  Luckily, I have been a member of DRT for a long 
time - so some of the proof I needed was already complied.

Give it a shot - and good luck
