Today's DAR
As you prepare for the holiday season—whether that means baking pumpkin pies, readying the guest room for cherished company, or setting a beautiful table for Thanksgiving dinner — don’t forget to treat yourself, too. And if you’re a genealogy enthusiast, DAR has the perfect gift waiting for you.
Starting today, all Genealogical Education Program (GEP) courses are “buy one, get one half off for a limited time.”*
With seven comprehensive courses covering everything from the basics of using DNA in a DAR application to advanced research strategies—like crafting an analysis to prove a generational link —the GEP series offers tremendous value for both beginners and seasoned researchers.
Each GEP course includes in-depth lessons, handouts, transcripts, quizzes, and a written assignment. The courses are completely self-paced, and you’ll have 90 days from enrollment to complete each one.
I recently finished GEP 8 – Supplemental Applications (April 2024), and it quickly became my favorite. I came away with practical tips for preparing applications that can be verified quickly and efficiently by the Office of the Registrar General.
As the use of DNA in genealogy continues to evolve, GEP Course 4 provides a helpful introduction to using DNA evidence in DAR applications. It’s an excellent resource—and it’s even open to prospective members.
If you’ve been looking for a meaningful way to invest in your genealogy journey, this holiday offer is the perfect excuse. Treat yourself to new tools, new skills, and perhaps even new family discoveries as a result of your new knowledge.
