Welcome to our Dare Family web site! 

(see our Dare Family DNA results below!)
 

Dare Family Researchers have compiled a database of over 128,500 names over the last 98 years!  If you think you are related to us, you have a lot of documented cousins!!  :)  Hi cuz!

Come meet your 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th cousins at our  98th  Annual Dare Family Association Reunion!

Saturday September 18^th, 2021

^{held at:}

^{Salem County Christian Academy,
104 Sparks Ave, Pennsville, NJ 08070}

^{11:00 AM to 2:00 PM}

Another great opportunity for Food, Fun, Fellowship, and the sharing of photos and information with your Dare kin! 

We visit for a bit, browse Dare Family historic displays, then share a delicious home style meal, followed by a discussion time,
elections, and other DFA reports and business.

^{DNA Info:}

Important side note: Over 80% of the Dares in America are not descended from a Dyer Family Line, as some people once thought before DNA tests of Dyers and Dare were compared!  They are radically different.  So the Dyers are not our ancestors.

btw: If you have male Dare DNA results and you match, please let us know?  Thanks!
 
We use FamilyTreeDNA.com and have a Dare Family group discount there. FamilyTreeDNA is the largest and most thorough DNA testing service.  Our 37 marker Dare DNA is as follows:
