The free
class starting at 1pm will cover beginning information about how to start a
family tree, where to locate documents and how to organize the information collected.  The evening class held the same day begins at
5 pm and will go into more in-depth information for anyone who has already
gotten started but wants to sharpen skills and search like a pro.  Each class will end with information on how
to become a member of the DAR.  DAR
Chapter members will also be on hand to help with research road blocks.

Mary Jo Anderson, Chapter Registrar and Field
Genealogist says. “Tracking your family’s roots is “just like a puzzle and you keep working
your way back,” one
piece of information at a time.   “If
people enjoy history and want to help perpetuate our beginning roots this is
the place you should be,” she says.  
Tracing your family roots back further than two or three generations can
be a daunting challenge.  However, if you
manage to connect your ancestral line directly to a patriot of the American
Revolutionary War, you could be eligible to join the new DAR Chapter. 



Residents and non-residents of O’Fallon must
register for the free classes with the Renaud Spirit Center at 636-474-2732.  You may also find information about the local
DAR chapter on the web at http://www.mssdar.org/ccstuart.
