Learn about the records of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and the herculean task of digitizing them.

Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) – An Introduction (Short Program)
After retiring from the healthcare field as an occupational health nurse for 38 years, Sue’s son-in-law introduced her to genealogy, and she was instantly hooked. In the many hours spent researching, Sue discovered her great grandmother was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). This prompted Sue to find out more about DAR and has now been a member for nearly 10 years.
DAR peaked Sue’s interest because it was a service organization, with a strong emphasis on historical preservation, education and patriotism. Sue has since learned there are others in her lineage, besides the original patriot, who have served in the Revolutionary War, which has fostered continued research of her family roots.
In addition to enjoying time with her family and exploring the Finger Lakes region, Sue is also a RGS member and volunteers at the Victor-Farmington Food Cupboard.
