Speaker to discuss DAR membership

The Edmond Genealogical Society will meet at 6:30 p.m. Monday at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 1315 E. 33rd, Edmond.

The presenter will be Pat McFall, a 40-year veteran researcher and author of the book “Genealogical Index to Conway County, Arkansas, Deed Books A and B, 1825-1843.”

McFall’s presentation will provide information about the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution application process, which is sent to Washington, D.C., for verification. McFall will include information on how to access the millions of records held by the National Society Daughters which are on the public website.

The organization began acquiring family genealogical information in 1890, when the Society was established, and adds new information daily.

The society meeting is free and open to the public. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is handicap accessible. Parking is available through the rear of the building.
