So Aunt Sally or Grandpa Joe shares a story at the latest family gathering that your late great great ancestor was a American Revolutionary War patriot.
What does one do to take the next step?
Here are some basic tools you have available, which can be free to help you do some detective work to confirm or deny the truth in these family history stories.
On Saturday December 10th 2022, the Cincinnati Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution (CCSAR) held its annual celebration and awards Gala.
President George Stewart addresses the participants
The Sons of the American Revolution (aka SAR) are committed to Youth Education.
Our goal is for all school children to learn about the founding of our country, the guiding principals and accurate history of the root causes of our quest for freedom and individual freedoms and decision making.
The Sons of the American Revolution (www.sar.org) has created a Reading Certificate Program which recognizes youth who participate in reading patriotic stories and history about the American Revolution and American Civics.
The following is an article published by the Journal of the American Revolution which outlines the days prior to and the first few days with the decision to have a winter encampment at Valley Forge.
The Journal of the American Revolution has a list of the 100 Best American Revolution books.
If you love to read, or are searching for a great gift for the difficult to shop for, this may offer some ideas.

There is an organization Mount Vernon Foundation which publishes a number of American Revolution era articles.
Given this is the extension of George and Martha Washington’s homestead it is only appropriate.
On December 10th at the Annual Gala event, the 2023 slate of Officers for the Cincinnati Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution were recognized and confirmed.
We are blessed with a number of Board and Officers who are extremely dedicated and contribute to the success of our chapter and the programs and events we support.
We are grateful for their willingness to participate, contribute and efforts to continuously improve our programs and community outreach.
Thanks to George Stewart for sharing this article.
Our first leader of the successful effort to establish a revolutionary new form of government who represented the people’s interest was George Washington.
We remember him, his accomplishments and honors.
Quietly on December 14th, 1799 he passed and his living chapter in our history was closed. We will never forget!
How did American Revolutionary War troops celebrate Christmas?
Is it true that Hessian troops fighting with the British introduced the Christmas tree to the American Colonies?
Was the ultimate Christmas present to the newly declared split from Britain the surprise victory at Trenton in the infamous “Crossing the Delaware” raid?
As we march through the holiday season, the Cincinnati Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution wish all our members, their friends, family and loved ones a blessed holiday season.
The holidays invoke many emotions of the past, present and future.
We hope that all can experience joy and happiness this holiday season!
Please reach out to your loved ones to touch their hearts and add a spark to their day.
We all need and appreciate this!
Thanks to Mike Gunn for sharing this photo of this scene.
At my time of publishing this article, “White Christmas” is playing in the background on my Pandora, and snow flurries are drifting around outside. So appropriate!
Happier Holidays from CCSAR!
