Membership Eligibility

   Any woman who is at least eighteen years of age and can prove lineal bloodline descent from an ancestor who aided in achieving American independence is eligible for membership.  She must provide documentation for each statement of  birth, marriage, and death.  One of these statements must show the parentage link to the next generation.

    The National Society reserves the right to determine the acceptability of all service and proof thereof.  The National Society accepts service, with some exceptions, for the period between 19 April 1775 (Battle of Lexington) and 26 November 1783 (withdrawal of British Troops from New York).
