Application forms can be obtained from the Registrar. Applications can also be prepared directly on the computer. Go to our Application website for a copy of the Computer Word Processor Application Form. Two original typed application forms, signed, notarized, and endorsed by a proposer and a seconder are required. Direct descent must be shown from a qualifying ancestor. Copies of documents proving proof of service and proof of the applicant's descent (birth certificates, death certificates, wills, deeds, census records, and other reliable secondary evidence) must be submitted with the application.

Two original application forms must be filled out using a Typewriter with a Black Ribbon. Do NOT make carbon copies or photo copies to submit as your application papers! Handwritten or Hand Printed applications are NOT acceptable.

Be certain to make a photocopy of the completed application form for your personal records! This is very important!

Direct descent must be shown from a qualifying ancestor, and PROVEN by copies of birth certificates, death certificates, wills, deeds, marriage records, census, estate and Bibles records. Generally reliable secondary source materials such as documented family histories are acceptable when copies of the original sources documents are not available. "Hearsay" as well as copies of other lineage papers are NOT acceptable documentation!

Only one set of proofs (documentation) is needed along with the two completed typewritten application forms. If your brother, father, uncle or grandfather is or was a member of this society, then only a copy of your birth certificate, and other documents to show your lineal relationship to the person who was granted membership in this society using the same line of descent.

Please SIGN BOTH forms in the proper places and have them notarized. You will need the signatures of two members of this Society; one serves as your proposer, and the other as your seconder. Society Officers are glad to serve as one of these for you, if you don't know of anyone to sign for you.

When your application forms are completely filled out (proof read them carefully, the Registrar will read them very carefully), send the application forms AND one set of documentation along with a check for $45(the $20 Application fee, and $25 for the first year dues) for a regular annual membership to:

Dr. Donald E. Gradeless, Secretary
Sons of the Revolution in the State of Wisconsin
2655 Fairview Lane
Brookfield, WI 53045-4117

Any new or existing member in good standing can convert to a Life Membership by making an addition payment of $500. You can become a Life Member of the SR-Wisconsin and spare yourself the trouble of having to pay dues each year and at the same time protecting yourself from future increases in membership dues. (Please check as to the current dues which may have changed since this page was posted).

Make all checks payable to: SR-Wisconsin, Inc.

Good luck in getting your family research completed, documented and getting two original copies of the application forms filled out correctly. Do not procrastinate in getting the forms filled out. Do this without delay. If you delay and put off doing it, you will lose interest and reduce your chances of obtaining membership member in our society.
