Easy to access DAR Revolutionary War information

Question

If you have an ancestor who fought in the Revolutionary War & you think is recognized by the Daughters Of The American Revolution (DAR), go to the following link. It is free & all you need to know is your ancestor's surname. And you can get your ancestor's DAR serial number.

http://services.dar.org/public/dar_researh/search/?Tab_ID=1

To highlight such an ancestor, I upload a stock Revolutionary War picture to the profile & make it the background picture. It really makes the background stand out. If anyone would like to use the picture I have, I would happily email it to them. I also have the DAR logo. Check out Nathaniel Venable (Venable-50) to see the effect.

Just thought everyone would like to know this.

Answer 1

The Dar Database is an exellent Resource for researching Revolutionary War Ancestors, but please remember the records are also submitted and need verifying. An example is:

http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Fitz_Randolph-181

But the records Point to:

http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Fitz_Randolph-177

Fitz Randolph-181 is the correct Revolutionary Ancestor not Fitz Randolph-177

OOOhh!  Good catch!

Based on birthdates and wives names, I moved the DAR Ancestor insignia from FitzRandolph-177 to FitzRandolph-181.

The SAR Patriot insignia appears to be correct for FitzRandolph-177.

Oh yikes!  Eric said, "The NSDAR Record actually belongs on Fitz Randolph-181. He was the one that was in the 1st Regiment Middlesex Milatia not 177. 177 would have been 77 years old, . . ."

I will change this back and let the folks that know more about this family work it out. Sorry about the confusion. 

http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Fitz_Randolph-181 I put the DAR info back. Now, both the DAR and SAR records are listed.  

Answer 2

The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) has asked that we not link to their proprietary information without prior written approval.  This includes:

• the DAR insignia
• the DAR logo
• all DAR Ancestor numbers 
• their public database.

Please delete all references to this proprietary information from your WikiTree profiles and do not use the former DAR template.  Thank you.
