Hi Everyone, Thought this might be of interest and wanted to share it with you. Now Available! There was a recent debut of the Patriot Lookup Service on the DAR National web site. The purpose of this new service is to assist the General Public by providing DAR Patriot Index information upon request. The service will be staffed by Volunteer Information Specialists (VIS) volunteers coordinated by Rose Mary Patterson (AZ). Current DAR members already have access to the Patriot Index from the Members' Web Site. We are now, for the first time, offering the general public a Patriot Lookup Service directly from our National web site. If you are a member of a genealogy list or forum and would like to share this information with them, please consider using the following announcement: FREE DAR PATRIOT LOOKUP SERVICE Do you think you have a Revolutionary patriot (male or female) in your family tree? The DAR will search their database of proven Revolutionary patriots free of charge. This service is available at www.dar.org Sincerely, Susan Tillman National Chairman - VIS Committee I hope this information helps. If you have problems or further questions, please let me know. :-) Thanks, Mike ************************* Michael G.
