Betty: My family has two members (great-great-aunts) with DAR records. I have those record numbers, and am wondering if they remain certified by the DAR. For example, Would it be appropriate for a daughter to reference the G-G-aunts' record number, and only prove direct linage to the aunt? Or, must her entire line need to be reconstructed back to the Revolutionary War participants? ----------------------- I got a chuckle from Nel's comment, "...[the] DAR was accepting applications based....more on 'who' you were in society. Mrs Got Rocks was a shoo-in for membership and a fauncy piece of paper to hang on her wall..", because my DAR aunts also joined the "ROCKEFELLER SOCIETY". At the time, the society was limited to Rockefeller family descendants (very, very distant in my aunts' case). Choosing not to point out the weakness of their society blood-line, the aunts placed their RS certificate, which was bigger and 'fauncier' than the DAR certificates, in the most prominent location on their Drawing Room wall. And for some time they hosted ladies society meetings beneath those certificates. Unfortunately for my aunts, the Rockefeller Society became primarily a philanthropic foundation, and began to press its members to donate an extra $1,000-5,000 per year for public causes, colleges, and national parks in the tradition of the founding Rockefellers. The aunts quietly removed their RS certificate from the wall.

HATCHER website: http://hatcherfamilyassn.com HALL DNA project: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~nhatcher/hall/HDNAtest.htm "If you can't stand the skeletons, stay out of the closet" - Val D Greenwood Joyce, I really don't know how the DAR chapters work but I don't see why it would make any difference which chapter you worked with. I'm sure their requirements of proof may be fairly tight but requiring BCs that weren't required in a state is silly. But if they understand that principle, you still may be required to produce bible recs or docs that tie together so tightly that there's no question you've got the right parents attached to the right child.

Hi Nel, Thanks for the word on DAR. I tried for a year to get my membership based on my gggggrandfather on my grandmothers side. I have so much information on him, yet I can't "prove" his relationship to me. They wanted his birthcert. and all the greats birthcerts back to him.

Yesterday we rec'd results for our NY Hatcher from England and we now have our 3rd tester matching the Kent, England family. This family came from Kent to NY, OH and WI. And you may not remember Ebenezer Hatcher of GA but his test results are very rare and for over at least 2 yrs has never had a match to anyone, regardless of surname.........until yesterday. This match is quite intriguing since Eben matched to a family out of Scituate, MA going back to the 1500s. Their surname? HATCH! I find this interesting because we have an unc Hatcher family that I've tracked back to MD to a Thomas Hatcher bn bef 1683 whose name in the records is as often Hatch as it is Hatcher. His father may have been a John Hatch bn bef 1634 whose records are consistently spelled Hatch. One descendant, if my research is correct, is a John Hatcher bn c1820 in MD who ended up in KY. So far, I've never had a contact for this family. The results we're receiving lately are opening up more and more possibilities for matches, particularly for those of you with Unc Hatchers. The special sale for $119 on the 37 marker test will continue thru Sept 30th. If you're still vacillating, pondering, considering, procrastinating, don't wait too long! Contact me if you have questions and I'll be happy to work with you.

Dear Gang: How reliable do you find the DAR records? I found separate DAR records, based upon individual DAR applications from two of my ancestors, both prepared in the early 1900's. Although both showed linage from the same two ancestors who fought in the Revolutionary War (thereby meeting DAR membership qualifications), they differed in name spelling, and one application included four more Revolutionary ancestors (from my family), one of whom my records show to be a Torie! Does not an application to the DAR include thorough scrutiny by the organization's genealogist?
