Got this from another list, thought it would be helpful to many. __________________________________________________________________________ Dear All: Some volunteers from the society of the Daughters of the American Revolution ( DAR) have established a wonderful new program for users of Rootsweb. These volunteers will do lookups in their database and records if you think one of your ancestors served in some capacity during the American Revolution. These volunteers have more databases that are available to them than the ones commonly used by the search engines. The process is fairly simple : Go to the DAR message board: There are two ways to do that: www.rootsweb.com message boards topics organizations and societies DAR Or if you want the easy way :-) http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=topics.organizations.dar Address your message as follows: subject : DAR Lookup > surname> location > dates In the body of the message put the information regarding the person, Be sure to fill out the surnames box at the bottom since the new search engine will be keying on that item. Leave the email response box checked and you will be notified when the DAR volunteers respond . Give them a week or so to get to your request. We really appreciate their efforts. This info can be key for: a: joining these prestigious organizations ( DAR & SAR) b: sending a request for the copies of the files that were submitted and the information they have available. Many thanks to: Glenda Thompson DAR VIS Volunteer Vice Chrm. Patriot Lookup for organizing this effort and all the many volunteers that are donating their time and effort to us instead of pursuing their own ancestors, Best Regards John A Hansen DAR board admin. BTW: Please forward this message to other lists and boards that each of you are involved in. A word of thanks to each volunteer that does this work and especially the one that responds to your post would probably be highly appreciated.

Thanks Nancy My daughter was thinking of trying to get a dar scholarship for college but that it would be too much trouble to do the tracing. Maybe this will help. It should help with my research as well. I appreciate your thoughtfulness.

For whatever it is worth - I asked for information on an ancestor of mine about 6 weeks ago, and did not get an answer - yes or no......Do they reply even if they do not find anything on ones name of interest?....Phyl in Reno ----- Original Message ----- From: "Terry Bell" <terrybell@tds.net> To: <WIRICHLA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, November 18, 2001 9:28 PM Subject: Re: [WIRICHLA] FreeDar Lookups > Thanks Nancy > > My daughter was thinking of trying to get a dar scholarship for college but > that it would be too much trouble to do the tracing.
