fyi... 1b. EDITOR'S DESK. DAR Patriot Lookups NSDAR VOLUNTEERS OFFER LOOKUPS. Do you think you might have an ancestor who served in the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783). Would you like to know whether your ancestor is listed with the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) in the "Patriot Index"? A helpful group of organized DAR VIS Volunteers monitor the RootsWeb DAR Message Board every day and welcome lookup requests. Include your Revolutionary War-era ancestor's first and last name, spouse's name (if known), dates of birth, death, and state of residence when posting your lookup request. You need not be interested in joining the NSDAR to request a lookup.
