Kathy, Thank you so much. I would assume by what you tell me that you can link up to the DAR because you come from the same line. I believe my Patriot is proven from a sibling of my GG grandmother and that is where I felt my problem would come. We know that are kin, just proving it by DAR standards.

Can someone tell me more about the DAR? I have now documented several ancestors that fought in the revolutionary war (on the side of the colonists, of course). What advantage is there to becoming a member? If males are not allowed, is there a male counterpart, or should I skip myself enroll my daughters? -- Walt Tucker
