Welcome to the SDC Confederate ancestry verification service. This service is available to any man or woman of Confederate descent. Using genealogical information supplied by an applicant, we use our resources and experience in Confederate genealogy to verify its authenticity. Upon completion of this research and verification process, a Certificate of Confederate Ancestry, suitable for framing, will be prepared and mailed to the applicant. The applicant's name and ancestor information will then be added to the official rosters of the Sons and Daughters of the Confederacy. All information supplied by an applicant will be held in strict confidence and not be released to any organization or individual. As a service to our certificate holders, we will of course verify any information presented to us for such purpose.
