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?
