Membership

The Minnesota Chapter currently has 17 members. We meet twice a year on the fourth Saturday in May and September around the lunch hour. Sometimes we meet in Minneapolis/St. Paul area and sometimes in Rochester.

Eligibility in the Society requires an unbroken paternal line of either the applicant's father or mother, going back to a FOUNDER who arrived in one of the Colonies between May 13, 1607 and May 13, 1687, and in this unbroken line, an intermediate PATRIOT ancestor who, by personal service in a civil or military capacity or by other acts proving his unfailing loyalty, assisted in establishing American independence during the Revolutionary Period, 1775 to 1784.

Simply put, if you can trace the male line from either your paternal or maternal grandfather all the way back to a pre-1687 colonist, and there's a Revolutionary patriot in that same line, you may be eligible for membership - It's as simple as that!
