Faith, I enjoy reading your HALLMAN e-mails, but have not written return e-mails often because I'm very busy-even in retirement. I belong to the GEN-NEWBIE and SHIPS LIST and they sometimes have an enormous amount of e-mail and I'm too tired to repond sometimes at 10:30 P.M. I do have a question. Since our HALLMAN ancestors were here during the REVOLUTIONARY WAR(and didn't seem to be Empire Loyalists) do we qualify for membership in the DAR. Has anyone researched this? I understand that they did not have to be in uniform. They must have given some kind of aid/help to the Revolutionary Cause. Thanks for any knowledge on this. Carol E.
