In this online presentation, Vice President of Research and Library Services Lindsay Fulton provides a step-by-step look at applying to Revolutionary War lineage societies including the application process and tips for when you can’t find vital records. The lineage societies covered in this presentation will include National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, Sons of the American Revolution, Sons of the Revolution, The Society of the Cincinnati, The Order of the Founders and Patriots of America, and the Boston Tea Party Descendants Program.
