[Web4lib] Need help for genealogy research

[Tim Spindle]

In order to be a member of DAR, you must descend from a person who fought in
the Revolutionary War OR who provided service, as in provided beef and
brandy to the troops or foraged for their animals, etc.  There's a Patriot's
Index at http://www.dar.org/natsociety/pi_lookup.cfm to check and see if any
of her relatives have done that (if she knows her relatives).

Probably one of the best ways is for her to check with her local chapter.
Most chapters have a website or at least are listed online--check the local
library, particularly if there's a genealogy section or historical society.
Does she have any aunts, great-aunts, who are members of DAR or uncles who
are members of SAR? Those are good places to start.

In the meanwhile, she can start collecting birth certificates, marriage
certificates and death certificates for herself, her parents and her
grandparents. That'll take a while, but it will be necessary and is a way to
get started.
