Getting Started Summary
Membership requirements are set by the national organization.
The application process starts by collecting the required documentation to support your ties to your ancestor.
Download the application from the national web site and type in the requested data.
Review the application with the Registrar and/or Genealogist of the local chapter you wish to join.
Make corrections and/or additions to the application suggested by the local Registrar.
Obtain the official water marked paper for the official printed application.
Review the application again by the local Registrar and request his signature, sign the applications (3 copies required - only 1 copy of the supporting documentation is required) and send it to the Pennsylvania Registrar with the correct application fee.
Of course, an application fee must be sent with your
initial application and supporting documents. Your Registrar will
help verify the correct amount.
A list of fees can be found here.
WAIT:
Wait for request(s) for additional information and/or
approval. The local Registrar and/or other members will assist you,
if needed.
