In 1913, the DAR established the Genealogical Research Committee
(subsequently renamed the Genealogical Records Committee) to coordinate this
nation-wide attempt to save historical records. The result has been nearly
17,000 typescripts of records from across the country. These volumes are
referred to collectively as the Genealogical Records Committee Reports, for
the DAR's national committee responsible for their production. These
typescripts contain a tremendous amount of unique genealogical material,
much of it gleaned from gravestones, family Bibles, and personal
collections.

They have now indexed a large portion of these records. You can search for
the records on the web site
