Your comments please. john. >> John: I truly believe you deserve an award for perseverance To JOHN and NOTE to everyone on IREDELL ROOTS: Have you checked for DAR Records? I am the DAR coordinator for AOL Online Lookups for people seeking family PATRIOTS in the Revolution... If your server is different from AOL, our volunteer group can still help you.. If you have a Compuserve or Prodigy suffix, I have the names of those two coordinators and can forward your mail to them for assistance. All others, can be forwarded to one of our 16 AOL volunteers. They scan the Message Boards <two days for each lady> to help in any way. I also have the names of state contacts to help you in your home state with further assistance... To John and everyone, we welcome your queries.. In the DAR Patriot Index for Davidsons, I only find one Thomas Davidson, who was born in Ireland, but lived and died in NH. However there are many JOHN DAVIDSONs. By separate mail, I will send you this list. it may be of help. If you find your person, or suspected person, you can send for a copy of the approved application for $5.00 each. This application copy was the work of some dear lady that became a DAR member for submitting it and being approved... Happy Hunting!
