Abstract:

Records of a women's organization dedicated to patriotic ideals and the preservation of family history. Members are required to document an unbroken lineage from an ancestor who settled in the Colonies between 1607 and 1687 as well as an intermediate ancestor who, by military or civil service, aided in the establishment of American independence between 1775 and 1784. The Wisconsin chapter organized in 1910. The collection includes meeting minutes; reports of chapter activity to the national society; correspondence; reports of officers; newsletters; membership records, which include genealogical information; the constitution and by-laws, yearbooks; records of the chapter's ROTC Medal awards; chapter histories; and a scrapbook containing news clippings, memorabilia, and a few photographs.
