The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) National Society has announced that it has placed its Genealogical Research System online, freely available at: http://dar.org/natsociety/pi_lookup.cfm  This site allows you to look up proven patriots and replaces the DAR's previous Patriot Index lookup service.   However, each line's most recent three generations are blocked on this public site.  This means that you can find proven patriots but may have some challenges determining how closely related you are to them. 

In order to see the most recent three generations, you need to contact a DAR member or chapter leader.  Christina Bannon, Registrar of the Chicago DAR chapter, offers these enhanced lookups, as well as advice on the application process, in the Newberry's general reading room once a month.  She will next be at the Newberry on Friday, December 11, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.  No reservations are required.
