Bringing Our Patriots to Life |
Here's a great opportunity to get involved because it touches upon many types of interest and expertise. Which one's right for you? Honor and Preserve. One of the responsibilities we have as members of the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution (NSSAR) is to recognize and honor our Revolutionary War patriots and Revolutionary War supporters. To this end, we have been actively involved with the development and implementation of a new NSSAR website, Patriot Research System (PRS), which details our revolutionary war lineages and the biographies of our Patriots. NSSAR PRS (http://sarpatriots.sar.org/) |
A key part of making the PRS a success is to upload existing, approved lineages. (The NSSAR approved Record Copy (RC) members received when they first joined the Society.) An RC details the SAR Compatriot’s lineage to their Rev War patriot or Rev War supporter as well as significant information about each patriot or supporter. Efforts are underway in several State NSSAR Societies to organize teams of volunteers to enter RC information. We are joining these efforts with the immediate goal of entering the RC information for each of our GWSAR members. |
If you are interested in joining us in this highly rewarding and worthwhile effort, please contact Jamie Callender. For a demonstration of the Patriot Research System (PRS) capabilities see: Mapping and Find Your Patriot. |
