Laurie: I have been going on monthly bus trips to Washington DC to the National Daughters of the Revolutionary War with my St.Mary's County (Maryland) Genealogical Society; and the bus also makes stops at Library of Congress and the National Archives. (If you have trouble locating the correct Board, just search American Revolutionary War.) So the above, are some of your alternatives, if visiting in the Nation's Capitol. http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=topics.organizations.dar. Ancestry's Board for DAR. (a Message Board via Rootsweb.com). I have been using it since about 2003; and sometimes it is hard to find. Sons of American Revolutionary War: You can also write to the National Headquarters in Louiville, KY for SAR http://www.sar.org/ http://www.interment.net/column/review/sar/index.htm SAR Revolutionary War Graves Register 2000 There are others for Grave Search;, and I have one that lists my Indiana Patriot, who fought for Culpeper, Virginia -- and he was selected to fight by a sort of a "draft" known as the Culpeper (Virginia) Classes, which I located throught the Library of Virginia. Therefore, check with the appropriate state library for your Patriot. This should get you started.
