WELCOME TO THE SAR IN SOMERSET AND CAMBRIA COUNTIES, PENNSYLVANIA
The Somerset-Cambria County Chapter of the SAR meets several times each year, usually timed to coincide with with a patriotic event. The meeting places also are varied.
We maintain about 70 members, and are always looking for new ones. Cambria and Somerset Counties combined in 1976 to form the single chapter we have now. The Somerset chapter itself was chartered in 1946.
The SAR is an organization dedicated to the propagation of the values on which America was founded, for which our fore-fathers fought and, in many cases, died. We are proud of our American heritage and enjoy our genealogies. The SAR is the largest male genealogical society in the United States.
