Some volunteers from the society of the Daughters of the
American Revolution ( DAR) have established a wonderful new program for users of
Rootsweb. These volunteers will do lookups in their database and records if you
think one of your ancestors served in some capacity during the American
Revolution. These volunteers have more databases that are available to them than
the ones
commonly used by the search engines.
You can then also find out if others have become DAR members by using that
Ancestor. This may show you other descendants and also provide some
documentation that you may be able
to use in your application!
The process is fairly simple :
Go to the DAR message board:
There are two ways to do that:
www.rootsweb.com
message boards topics organizations and societies DAR
>Or if you want the easy way :-)
http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=topics.organizations.dar
Address your message as follows:
1. subject : DAR Lookup > surname> location > dates
2. In the body of the message put the information regarding the person.
3. Be sure to fill out the surnames box at
the bottom since the new search engine will be keying on that item.
4. Leave the email response box checked and you will be
notified when the DAR volunteers respond .
PLEASE, Give them a week or so to get to your request.
