Do You Have A Patriot Ancestor?

Join the Barrington-based Signal Hill Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution as Registrar Jenny Fisher provides an overview of the organization and gives insights into the application process in this virtual program, "Everything You Ever Needed to Know About Daughters of the American Revolution."

The program is appropriate for adults and teens who want to research their family history to see if they might have a "Patriot" ancestor.
