The Col. David Hall Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution will host a program on genealogical research at 10 a.m., Saturday, Oct. 4, at Lewes Public Library, 111 Adams Ave., Lewes.

Guest speaker Joe Sullivan of the Delaware Public Archives will offer expert insights on lesser-known resources for researching family trees, including supply tax records, oaths of allegiance and pay schedules that may identify women and African Americans or Native Americans who contributed to the revolutionary cause.

Space is limited. The deadline to register is Saturday, Sept. 27. To reserve a seat, send a name, phone number and email address to Mary Alice Kelly at makelly.dar@gmail.com.

The program is part of the chapter’s initiatives to commemorate the upcoming 250th anniversary of the founding of the U.S. The chapter also recently procured the Library Edition license to Ancestry.com, now available at no charge to the public at the Lewes library. Community members are encouraged to take advantage of this resource to explore their family histories.

Genealogists from the DAR chapter will be available following Sullivan’s presentation to assist attendees with research on the Ancestry platform.

“The upcoming 250th anniversary is not only an opportunity to celebrate America’s founding, but also to reflect on the diverse stories and contributions that shaped our nation,” said Beth Bowersock, Col. David Hall Chapter regent. “Through this series, we hope to inspire curiosity and learning while offering meaningful tools for genealogical research.”
