No index is absolutely complete! I have found this over and over again searching through records. To be sure you must check the records them selves. Only you know your family!!! All of us who do look up's do our best to help others, but we are not infallible, we miss things, connections, family, etc you might have found. I know for a fact I have more than 1 ancestor, who used their middle name on a census, and if I had not been careful, would have missed it completely. The more you include in your request the better your chances ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, October 13, 2002 1:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [INDIANA] DAR look ups I have been looking for my ggg grandfather that is listed in books and online in the Valley Forge site as a Rev War Vet. However I try, the DAR has no record of him nor suggestion where I might find him. I did get a suggestion from a researcher that heard my story and she personally checked on my grandfather while in DC. She said that she asked for info they said at the office did not exhist but she proved them wrong. She tells me that NO one has applied to DAR for a Partiot status and that I can do that which will get him in the DAR books. One lady in 5 days did that for me when 4 other researchers that were of the DAR membership did find me nothing and did not know why. SO if you read the underlined words you will know that they do not garentee that they will find your ancestor. I will say they did find a man with same name but he lived, m., raised children and died in Delaware, USA and mine died in Indiana, USA.
