The Black Mountain Foothills Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution is collecting unpublished genealogical records to be submitted to their library in Washington DC. The DAR Library is one of the largest repositories of genealogical records in the United States. The group is seeking copies of family records to be included in the library. The records will be indexed and searchable online making them available to other family genealogists. This is a wonderful way to preserve your family research and records! The wide variety of genealogical records acceptable for submitting include for example military documents; land deeds and records; marriage, birth, death, and other vital records; wills; town council minutes; church and Bible records; and diaries.
If you have family records such as these and would be willing to share a photocopy with the DAR, you can bring the copy to the Cave Creek Museum. The Cave Creek Museum is located at 6140 East Skyline Drive – Cave Creek. The museum understands the value of historical records and has agreed to help the local DAR chapter by proving a place to collect records.
If you have any questions about the project, please contact Chapter Regent, Sarah Ziker at [email protected].
