Do you have a revolutionary patriot in your family tree?
March 19, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm MST
Cave Creek Museum Presents “Do you have a revolutionary patriot in your family tree?” on March 19 from 2-4 PM in the museum’s historical church.
Presenter Sarah Ziker, a representative of Daughters of the American Revolution, will discuss how people can use free online resources to discover their ancestors’ service.
Ziker has been part of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) since 2002. Exploring her family and finding historical connections has become a passion. She quickly developed a love for genealogy and helping others research their families. In the DAR, she proved that she descended from 22 men and women who aided in establishing American independence. These patriots vary between farmers who helped feed the Continental Army to someone who was part of the Boston Tea party. Ziker now serves Arizona DAR as state recording secretary and is the national vice chair of the membership task force. She is an honorary regent of the Black Mountain Foothills Chapter in Cave Creek. This session is open to men and women who want to learn about their colonial ancestors, such as whether family members might have fought in the American Revolution.
The 51-year-old museum’s mission is to preserve the artifacts of the prehistory, history, culture and legacy of the Cave Creek Mining District and the Cave Creek/Carefree foothills area through education, research, and interpretive exhibits. The Cave Creek Museum is located at 6140 E. Skyline Drive in Cave Creek, Ariz., 480.488.2764. Open October through May.
