Do you have a mother, aunt, grandmother, or first cousin in the DAR? If so, please proceed to Step 3.
If no known relative was in the DAR, your first step toward membership requires establishing your lineage.
Start with the genealogy worksheet to help point out possible lines. Write only the data which can be proven. Once the worksheet is completed, fill out the pedigree chart for persons born 1700-1765, as these are the most likely to have provided service.
The following links are provided to assist you with completing a pedigree chart.

Once you have followed your lineage, you can begin to identify potential patriots. Service to the cause for American independence can be proven in many ways. The following links will assist you in determining the eligibility of civil or patriotic service for your patriot.
If your ancestor is not listed in the Patriot Index, that does not mean that person did not provide service, it just means that no one has proven their lineage from that person. This means it is up to you to prove that line and service.
