There are more than 100 chapters in Illinois. Perhaps one of them is a closer fit for you. Take a look.

Several years ago, the Edwardsville Chapter NSDAR took on the project of placing our nation's flag around the community. Today those flags are still flying on patriotic holidays.

Edwardsville is home to Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, and many small and large businesses. Edwardsville also played an important role in our state's history. It is a great place to live and play.

The Edwardsville Chapter NSDAR sponsors a local Children of the American Revolution society.

FIND YOUR OWN PATRIOT

Did you know that your ancestor -- male or female -- did not have to serve in the military to be a patriot? There are many other acceptable service qualifications, such as civil service (serving as a town, county or state official) or patriotic service (taking an oath of allegiance or providing material aid, such as supplies, to the troops).

Did you know?  The DAR has a searchable database called the Genealogical Research System (GRS) that contains information on proven patriots and descendants of past and present DAR members. You can browse the collection here.
