Hello, Both myself and my daughter are members of the DAR under George Bloom our ancestor. Recently we received a letter that there is a question as to the military service of George Bloom. The DAR has closed his account which means that my four granddaughters will not be able to become members of the DAR without proof of his service. I am descended from his daughter Lanie. Below I have listed the following: 1. Patriot service record that is currently listed with the DAR 2. Proof of his moving to PA after serving in the Revolutionary War and the list of his children and where they moved to. 3. Proof of his burial and acknowledgement of his service in the Revolutionary War. If anyone can assist me or direct me to the best place for information to verify this and remove the question, I would be very grateful. Sincerely, Suzanne This is the DAR listing.
