Exploring the Sons of the American Revolution with Genealogist Deborah Maddox
I am joined by Deborah Maddox, a staff genealogist at the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR). We look into the history, purpose, and membership criteria of the SAR, as well as the differences and collaborations between the SAR and the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR).
