Research Notes

Daniel Durbin, Ancestor #: A035241 took an "Oath of Allegiance" for his Patriotic Service in Maryland. ^[9] The Ancestor Database does not constitute proof of lineage. The databases contain DAR proprietary information which should under no circumstances be redistributed to others, assembled, reproduced, published, or posted in any form whatsoever with the exception of the following: (i) DAR membership and supplemental applications; (ii) citation in genealogical scholarship; and (iii) citing a DAR patriot name and number in publications and on third party websites.

The primary purpose for the creation of the Ancestor Database is to assist staff with the verification of membership applications and supplementals. As such, the DAR assigns a single standard surname that covers variant spellings of similar surnames. While the surname may appear incorrect, this does not mean it is in error. This spelling system ensures that patriots are not established under more than one spelling.
