Jim Albin forwarded this from one of the Lists to which he belongs.
He asked me to forward it to you if I thought it worthy. I do, so
here it is.

================================
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:

<http://www.rootsweb.com>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>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 a 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
