| Booth #217 |
The booth will be hosted by the Missouri Society of the Sons of the American Revolution (MOSSAR).
The National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution (NSSAR) was organized on 30 April 1889, the 100th anniversary of the inauguration of George Washington as our nation's first president. The SAR is a historical, educational, and patriotic, non-profit organization that seeks to maintain and extend the institutions of American freedom, an appreciation for true patriotism, a respect for our national symbols, the value of American citizenship, and the unifying force of e pluribus unum that has created, from the people of many nations, one nation and one people. The SAR has over 500 chapters in the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Switzerland, Mexico, Spain and the United Kingdom.
The SAR is a lineage society. Each member has traced his family tree back to a point of having an ancestor who supported the cause of American Independence during the years 1774-1783. Documents supporting each generation are required to be submitted with the application. A clear documentation trail is needed from the applicant to his Patriot ancestor. If someone has joined the SAR or DAR under his Patriot, he can obtain a DAR certificate or an SAR Membership Record Copy to document his Patriot. An SAR chapter genealogist will be glad to provide guidance. A membership application and information can be found at http://www.sar.org/
