One should never take the LDS material as written in gold. Remember: It is only as good as the researcher who submitted it. They just copy the research onto the internet or film. I have found that there are many mistakes and the researcher has no evidence to back it up or when you write them, they don't answer! We can all disagree, but hopefully come to the right answer together. As far as the DAR is concerned, I understand that years ago, they were accepting the research as submitted with weak evidence...times have changed and without proper documentation, one will not enter the realm of DAR. I have friends that are desperately trying to find documentation so that the person can qualify for membership. This is the result of so many falsifications on the applications. This was many, many years ago and it is finally becoming important to prove with documentation or evidence your qualification for DAR. Remember, the research is only as good as the researcher! Please don't flame me for that statement...most of us have documentation to back it up these days or try to verify what we have found. We have learned to do this from past experience and we have become good family researchers with all the technology and material available today. Hugh, you have done a wonderful job verifying your position with the "Lees of VA". Since I have two lines of Lees in my tree (and one is from VA), I have yet to verify where these ancestors came from much less who they are connected to in the past. Of course, in SC, too many events in the Rev. War as well as the Civil War gives us little to research.....but I love to try! For everyone, good luck with your research! We have a great group of people on line to help us in many ways with our search for our ancestors...Thanks everybody! However, we are all able and willing to "take great leaps of faith" and "shots in the dark" to help us along the way! I am very guilty of that...but I call it, for what it is worth, "common sense" until I am proven wrong by others or myself! This has happen often!
