>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.
