This came in answer to my DAR message on another list. I agree. Remember: All books have errors. Even documents have errors. Books are only a research tool. Not all linages sent to DAR are accepted but are in their records. Some are partially excepted. Just like each of us, We believe what we have is correct. Some are more open to knowning that there are errors in our files. My files are a work in progress and have many errors but are the best I can do with the data I have.

These books are over 70 years old and date from a period that very little other than my grandfather said so was needed for proofs. Many of these line were found to be in error since then. Be very Careful when using info from these books. The DAR itself no longer recognizes them as proof of lineage. I have the DAR Patriot Index which lists those patriots that have been used for membership. Julia Coldren-Walker
