Get involved today and be a part of something meaningful and impactful. Do not hesitate to reach out to us for meeting information. We would love to have you visit. If you are from the Sainte Genevieve and Perryville county areas, maybe your American Revolutionary War Patriot is the same as one of ours. 

The Sainte Genevieve Settlement Chapter, NSDAR, is named for the oldest permanent European settlement west of the Mississippi River. The community had not hosted a Daughters of the American Revolution chapter until September 5, 2020. At that time, DAR members met with local ladies to explore interest in forming a new chapter in the community. By July 5, 2021, our new chapter was organized and has continued to grow throughout the proceeding years.

DAR members are descended from American Revolutionary War Patriots. These men and women fought in the American Revolutionary War or aided in the cause of American independence. The Patriot ancestors of the Daughters of the Sainte Genevieve Settlement Chapter, NSDAR, are listed in the searchable table below. Patriot names and numbers can be used to access a Patriot's profile on the NSDAR Genealogical Research System (GRS), an online repository of historical documents and records, using the NSDAR Patriot Search Tool.

*****************************
Do you have a Patriot Ancestor?

Researching your family lineage is a major step in becoming a member of the DAR. Documentation proving your direct lineage to a Patriot ancestor who fought in the American Revolutionary War or who aided in achieving American independence is required for membership.

All known DAR Patriot ancestors are cataloged in the NSDAR Genealogical Research System (GRS), an online collection of databases that preserve historical documents and records. The DAR provides this ever-growing wealth of research information as a resource tool for lineage and ancestry exploration.
