Go behind the scenes at the Daughters of the American Revolution with Audra Sombke, Director of Genealogy in Washington, DC. We talk about her path into family history and what makes DAR genealogy unique. We touch briefly on membership proof, but this conversation is mostly about practical tools, inspiring stories, and confidence-building advice for beginners.

What you’ll learn:
• Audra’s journey into family history and storytelling
• Why DAR genealogy work is different—and who it’s for
• DAR resources & tools you can use (and how to get started)
• A favorite DAR research story you’ll love
