Drum roll, please! It is exciting to announce the DAR Genealogy Lecture Series! This valuable programming will be offered free of charge to all members; it can be accessed online to be enjoyed from the comfort of your favorite computer screen.  

We’ve contracted with experts on the topics that appeal most to those searching for their early American roots. We hope that you will enjoy this entertaining and informative program series – while learning lots of new ideas, tips, and resources to search your family history.

While the continuing pandemic may keep us apart physically, it does provide an excellent opportunity to pursue our genealogy quests online. I am excited to bring this to our members as a value-added benefit of belonging to our dynamic National Society. And, I am very grateful to the many volunteers and staff members who are working behind the scenes to make this ambitious effort a reality. I look forward to welcoming you to our first installment on February 14!
