Membership

Those eligible for membership are women at least 16 years of age who are lineal or collateral blood descendants of men and women who served honorably in the Army, Navy, or Civil Service of the Confederate States of America, or who gave Material Aid to the Cause. Women who were adopted are eligible only through the bloodline of the biological parent. Also eligible are those women who are lineal or collateral blood descendants of members or former members of UDC.

No Confederate ancestor who took the Oath of Allegiance before April 9, 1865, is eligible to be used for application for membership. If proof of further Confederate service is available, thereby nullifying the Oath of Allegiance, the ancestor shall be considered for approval.

After being invited to join a chapter, applicants are given a worksheet for preparing the necessary documentation for the formal application. Applicants shall furnish acceptable documented proof to accompany an application. All applications must be on the official UDC application forms and bear the endorsement of two chapter members who personally know the applicant. Membership applications are kept as permanent records in the UDC Memorial Building in Richmond, Virginia.

If you are interested in joining the UDC, please contact the webmaster at charlie65hart@gmail.com.
