From the DAR Schools Committee:

Theme 2019-2022:
“Hooked on DAR Schools!”

The promotion of education is one of the three founding objectives of the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution. In 1903, the committee of Patriotic Education was authorized. By 1932, this committee had grown so much that it was separated into three separate committees: Americanism, National Defense, and Approved Schools.

By 1934, the National Society supported thirty-five approved schools and in 1940 during Continental Congress, it was resolved that as vacancies occurred, no new schools would be added. In 1960, the committee was renamed DAR School Committee. The committee now supports five schools, one DAR School and four DAR approved Schools.

All of these schools were begun in rural and disadvantaged areas where public education was not accessible. The mission of these schools is to provide traditional values and educational skills to the students in order to help them reach their full potential in life. While each school has a different focus, they serve a variety of special needs programs including adult literacy, attention deficit disorder, dyslexia, and children in family crisis. Today the DAR Schools serve thousands of students from pre-school through college and are helping to make a difference in their lives.

There are so many ways we can support our DAR Schools! Please take a little time to look at the webpages linked below to see how we can all make a difference through BoxTops (there's an app for that!), Coca-Cola Give Back, Office Depot/Office Max, Kroger, Target and many others!

From the Austin American-Statesman:

Texas History: You likely don't know about the Tejano patriots of the American Revolution

Pomp and patriotism ruled the hour at the Texas State Cemetery on Sept. 10.

Uniforms and flags. Flowers and ribbons. Pledges and prayers. Anthems and speeches. Poetry and pageantry.

Masses of symbolic snow white suits and blood red outfits, topped with sashes and medals.

Invocations, dedications and benedictions, plus the haunting strains of "Amazing Grace."

At the end of the morning ceremony that honored four Tejano patriots, whose names were newly added to the American Revolutionary War obelisk, the mournful sound of bagpipes wafted down from steep Monument Hill.

"I'm a Seguin," said Jo Ann Herrera as she ran her finger across the name of her ancestor, Jose Santiago Seguin. "I'm proud of my ancestors."

The Texas Society Daughters of the American Revolution, who first dedicated the monument in 2009, have updated the list of patriots who died in Texas in 2014, 2017 and earlier this month.

"Inherit" Grandma's Patriots Through New Program Launch!
Written by: Cindy Nicewarner, DAR Genealogist and Team Leader

After approval by voters at the 130th Continental Congress, it is exciting to share that members now have the ability to “inherit” all Patriots for whom their mothers or grandmothers have a proven Application or Supplemental Application. The Inheritance Project is a member benefit that 1) removes the need to file a full four-page Supplemental submission with documentation for each Patriot and 2) reduces the cost to “inherit” all eligible Patriots to a one-time fee of just $50.

At this time, the Inheritance Project applies only to mothers and maternal grandmothers. Other familial connections may be considered in the future depending upon the success of this first phase.

How it works

Daughters who wish to inherit their mother’s or grandmother’s Patriots complete an online formExternal Links icon and pay a $50 non-refundable processing fee. Inheritance will be established using existing approved Applications and Supplemental Applications. Requests will be processed as time allows, on a first-come, first-served basis.

Once authorized, a member will be notified via an automated email and the Genealogical Research System will be updated. Inherited Patriots will be listed on a member’s profile page beneath her existing Ancestors, under the new heading “Inherited Ancestors.” Participating members will be authorized to purchase and wear Ancestor Bars for all inherited Patriots. Additionally, Daughters will be allowed to wear their mother’s and grandmother’s bars if desired, making them family heirlooms that may be passed down for generations to come.

DAR Publications:

Forgotten Patriots – African American and American Indian Patriots of the Revolutionary War: A Guide to Service, Sources, and Studies

The second edition of Forgotten Patriots (2008) identifies over 6,600 names of African Americans and American Indians who contributed to American Independence and is a nearly five-fold expansion in pages over the 2001 edition. Now available as a free PDF download, this 874 page document contains details of the documented service of the listed Patriots, historical commentary on happenings of the time, an assortment of illustrations, and an extensive bibliography of research sources related to the topic.

Following an introduction that provides context to the service of these often overlooked Patriots and the challenges faced in documenting their service, the book organizes its findings into chapters that include historical commentary, sources cited, names of identified Patriots and a bibliography directly related to each state and region of the country. Additional chapters also cover miscellaneous naval and military records, foreign allies, and the West Indies.

Just as important to researchers will be the vast array of thousands of sources found in the book’s extensive bibliography that provides a roadmap for those seeking to discover even more information on the topic.

The Forgotten Patriots research guide is an indispensable tool for students, scholars, historians, and genealogists interested in the important contributions of African Americans and American Indians in America’s fight for Independence. On an additional level, the hope is that it will also encourage the female descendants of these patriots to join the important volunteer and educational work of the DAR.

America's Women in the Revolutionary Era 1760-1790: A History Through Bibliography

America’s Women in the Revolutionary Era 1760-1790: A History Through Bibliography, edited by Eric G. Grundset, is an authoritative guide to women’s and girls’ lives in the era of the American Revolution. DAR Library researchers made an effort to locate every relevant published resource about Revolutionary women possible, including books, articles, dissertations and online documents, in order to aid researchers, understand existing literature and illuminate gaps to encourage future research. This encyclopedic bibliography is sorted in several ways to make it as useful as possible, including by topic, geography and a chronology that shows how historians’ understanding of these women and girls has developed over time.

The book documents sources about America’s women from the famous to the obscure. Researchers discovered references to some unique women, such as one woman who lived as a hermit in a cave on the border of Connecticut and Massachusetts, along with documentation about famous, influential women and, most importantly, a great wealth of resources describing the daily lives of regular women of different races and classes. This focus on “average” women was a driving force of the research behind the book, which aims to find resources that paint a holistic picture of life in the revolutionary era.

Volume one contains many subject chapters including ones on general studies, African American Women, Native American Women, women in the family and society, women as mothers and their children, women’s health, women’s work in the home and elsewhere, women’s rights, religious experiences, women’s cultural life and activities, the creative activities of women in literature and writing, historical fiction, women and textiles, and women and girls in the many aspects of the war effort.

The second volumes takes a geographical approach to the broad subject incorporating materials from volume one with other locally-specific studies. It is arranged by state and region and provides extensive listings of books, articles, dissertations, theses, and other writings on the roles of women and girls across the emerging United States.

Volume three provides a listing of all of this information by author and a separate chronological section showing the development of the published literature in this field of study from the late eighteenth century to the present.
