Genealogy Update!

The month of July found the Data Entry and Genealogy staff at National busier than ever processing and reviewing Applications and Supplementals as we work to achieve our Society’s membership goals.  Their efforts paid off in a big way – with a whopping 1,270 Applications, along with 590 Supplementals, verified last month!  Thank you to all of the prospective members, chapter registrars and membership ambassadors who helped to prepare and submit these Applications for membership in our Society!

While we will always strive to improve productivity and turnaround, we are proud that the number of Applications verified represents an all-time record for the month of July.  At 590, Supplementals approved were just seven shy of the record for a July set back in 2017.

Equally impressive is the fact that several of our staff members are relatively new to DAR, with six Application genealogists hired since November and three Supplementals genealogists arriving within the past year.  Three Data Entry staff members joined our team within the past six months. We fully expect that when these newer employees have additional time to learn their responsibilities further still, that our progress will continue into the future.

Thank you, Daughters, for encouraging and supporting the new members who are the future of our Society. And kudos to the Registrar General’s staff for a job exceptionally well done in getting this record number of July Applications approved!
