Cathi, This fall my daughter and I were in Hudson, New York researching our tree. We visited a DAR chapter house. They had books which listed all members. If you find your aunt listed there, you can write for a copy of her application which shows how she proved her line. Some larger libraries also have the books. There is also a DAR site (use google to find it) that tells you how to send for copies of applications and where you may find the books. Hope this helps you. Barbara
