I believe the purpose, of this might be, that the old records, have found to have errors in them. I could be wrong. A DAR member. Jane Bogard McBride

I believe that when DAR first came into being, there were not as many records, census, church records, vital records etc. to search. DAR has indeed asked for further proof on Ancestors being submitted today, some of them used the older applications for proof and they do not have enough to definitely prove there lineage, or service in the Revolutionary War. The DAR magazine has a column that shows some corrections needed for proof. Maybe your Library carries a copy of them , I believe most do. Some Chapters pay for them to be put in their Libraries for Reference purposes. Hope this helps some. Glenrose
