Welcome

Welcome to the Birmingham Territory Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, a group of patriotic, caring women in the greater Birmingham, Alabama area dedicated to activities that promote our country’s history and heritage. We are a nonpartisan group of women who have traced their lineage to men and women patriots who served in or provided aid to the Revolutionary War. Chapter members support the three objectives of the National Society DAR: historic preservation, promotion of education and patriotic endeavor. The more than 80 chapter members include juniors (ages 18 to 35), mothers, daughters, sisters and friends who span the generations. The group meets for lunch on the second Tuesday of the month from September through May for project updates and interesting programs featuring history, education, conservation, national defense and women’s issues. We welcome new members and provide help to those interested in tracing their descent from patriots of the American Revolution.

MEMBERSHIP



 

    Birmingham Territory Chapter welcomes all women, ages 18 and older, and who are interested in community service and learning more about their potential - or already proven - Revolutionary War lineage, to join us to celebrate and serve our country. Please email our registrar at deloresbrooks@gmail.com for more information about the application process.

    Figuring out your lineage back to Revolutionary War times can be frustrating at times, but can also be exciting and fun!  To help you understand relationship terms that you may have heard all your life (such as "first cousin once removed"), but were a little fuzzy on, we've included a helpful "cousins chart" below, as well as some links to the right to help get you started.
