I got my DAR designation 6/13. The registrar of a local chapter helped me with all the paperwork. I was fortunate enough to have a book dating back to my patriot that furnished me with names, dates, etc. Many of my ancestors were from Georgia and due to many Georgia courthouses having been burned I was not able to obtain birth, death or marriage certificates but I have old family Bibles and they accepted photocopies from those. You may know that if someone along your lineage is already a member and you share the same patriot you may be able to just "prove" your connection to that member! That's what I did and only had to go back three generations. Good luck!
