Joining DVF requires proof that your ancestor was at Valley Forge as part of the Continental Army between December 19, 1777 and June 19, 1778.  This is the list of the patriots that our members have used to join our society.  At this time, this list may NOT be used as proof for your application.  We are in the process of organizing our records and may be able to use the list as proof sometime in the future.  Please note that this is NOT a comprehensive list of those who served. 

​

Another list exists, the Muster Roll, maintained by the Valley Forge Park Alliance.  Our organization accepts any patriot name on that list as part of your application.  You would still need to prove that person is your ancestor, but you would not need to provide proof of service.
