During our recent June 7th General Membership meeting the Cincinnati Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution welcomed four new members.
These new members have gone through the application process, have been able to prove their ancestral lineage back to a participant or key contributor to the American Revolutionary War activities.
Cincinnati SAR President George Stewart presents these four new members with their Membership Certificate
Our Cincinnati Registrar – Franz Ott has been busy having added 21 new members to the 2023 Membership. The process of adding new members is quite involved and requires a lot of time for the prospective member and our Registrar Franz Ott.
Once Franz has worked through the paperwork submission and lineage proof information has been collected, the application moves forward to the State level and once that scrutiny has been passed, on to the National SAR for final and ultimate approval. Only at that point is a member accepted into the SAR.

We congratulate these new members as well as appreciate their efforts to make this happen.
