Donna Rhyne - "Finding Female Ancestors".

She currently serves as DAR National Vice Chairman, Volunteer Genealogists, and is serving a second term as the North Carolina State Registrar. She also has served as a National Vice Chairman of Lineage Research for DAR.

Donna was born in Rhode Island, but has lived in Alabama, New York, Illinois, Texas, Indiana, Colorado, Maryland, Florida and North Carolina, She feels sorry for someone who may research her movements in the future!

She and her husband, Trent, have lived in Raleigh, NC, for the past 35 years, are the parents of 2 children and the grandparents of 3.

I wasn’t until 2000, when her father passed away suddenly, that Donna realized she knew very little about her dad’s family. That fall, she asked for a subscription to Ancestry for a birthday gift and she was hooked. By 2003, she realized she had ancestors in the earliest years of the formation of this country, and began researching a Revolutionary War Patriot in order to join DAR.

After serving in several chapter offices for DAR, and advancing her research skills, Donna settled on the Registrar position and found her passion in helping other women make connections to their Revolutionary Ancestors. Since then, she has served as Registrar for several other lineage societies and maintains membership in the Mayflower Society, Colonial Dames XVII Century, Dames of the Court of Honor, Daughters of Colonial Wars, New England Women, and Daughters of the American Revolution.
