I don't know if you have seen this or not, or if anyone is interested, but
thought I'd pass this along, just in case! :-)

Dear All:

Some volunteers from the society of the Daughters of the American
Revolution ( DAR) and the DAR message board 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.

A recent check has verified that there has been at least one
patriot of this family served in the American Revolution.
The process to check on the details of the
verified patriot or someone else that you are
interested in is fairly simple :

You can then also find out if others have become DAR members
by using that Ancestor. This may show you other descendants
( cousins and also may provide some documentation that you
may be able to use in your application!

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:
subject : DAR Lookup > surname> location > dates
In the body of the message put the information regarding
the person that you are interested in.
Be sure to fill out the surnames box at the bottom since the
new search engine will be keying on that item.
Leave the email response box checked and you will be
notified when the DAR volunteers respond .

Give them a week or so to get to your request.

We really appreciate their efforts.

This info can be key for:
a: joining these prestigious organizations ( DAR & SAR)
b: sending a request for the copies of the files that were
submitted and the information they have available.

Many thanks to:
Glenda Thompson DAR VIS Volunteer
Vice Chrm. Patriot Lookup
for organizing this effort and all the many volunteers that
are donating their time and effort to us instead of pursuing
their own ancestors,

Best Regards
John A Hansen
DAR board admin.

BTW: Please forward this message to other lists and boards
that each of you are involved in.

A word of thanks to each volunteer that does this work
and especially the one that responds to your post would
probably be highly appreciated.
