Although the DAR has gotten much more stringent in the proof of ancestry required for membership, there are many, many lines that are in error. I wouldn't consider DAR membership proof at all. -----Original Message----- From: Fern Walker [mailto:rumycuzn@bresnan.net] Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2005 1:19 PM To: MOJACKSO-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MOJACKSO] The 1600s Ancestors Data Base Update Will a DAR membership number suffice for proof of the ancestor living in America during the time frame for Ancestor Roll of Honor?

Jody, Do you work in the applications portion of DAR? I jumped through hoops backward to get mine. I submitted over thirty different pieces of documentation; wills, census records, death certificates, Birth certificates, marriages certificates, pension applications just to name a few. I think they are pretty tough and I am very proud of mine.

For those of you who might be interested in participating with "Americas First Families" at: http://www.firstfamilies.org/db/ and have gone to the expense and trouble of getting your DAR membership this is a message I received from them: Hello Fern: Yes by all means. In addition your two proofs of birth would be waved since you have proven that through your DAR lineage. The very best to you and yours.
