I noticed the same thing about the proposed Daniel Waldo -- died before the Revolutionary War and not one of the two that are in the DAR database -- and wrote the proposer to ask why she thought that he should be included, but I'm wondering if there are any people who are acceptable DAR ancestors who were involved in protests or other actions against British rule before war was formally declared.
When my mother died, her chapter offered to place a DAR marker on her gravesite, but since she is buried at a National Cemetery, they don't allow the markers.
Most chapters will place markers on a members headstone if it is allowed by the family and the cemetery. The best way to do this is to contact the regent of the chapter the deceased relative was a member of and see if they would be willing to help you with them, but prior to doing this check with the cemetery they are buried in and see if the marker would be allowed.
Hope this helps to answer the question.
Yes, Erica Howton family tradition, but it was my father who served, not my mother. Spouses and dependents of military, under the age of 18, as well as those who serve our country may be buried at National Cemeteries.
Please help...I found a distant relative here James Chiles II, but his father and uncle show - No path found" Here is James II - James Chiles, II Here is the father - James Chiles, Sr. Am I missing something?
Okay... so it seemed everyone was under the same idea that this project should have related sub-projects to help control it's current population. I have done so! Please help me to filter profiles into their proper DAR homes:
[http://www.geni.com/projects/Daughters-of-the-American-Revolution-P... DAR Patriots]
[http://www.geni.com/projects/Daughters-of-the-American-Revolution-D... DAR Descendants]
[http://www.geni.com/projects/Daughters-of-the-American-Revolution-D... DAR Daughters]
Enjoy!
Yay! I have added you to all three Faustine. It should be pretty easy now to help out.
I started with Patriots first. I've been going through the profiles, and if a DAR Ancestor # is listed, I assume that means they are a documented patriot. I have been adding those profiles to the Patriots page and removing them from the DAR page at the same time to help figure out how many are still left to sift through. The same could be done for profiles with a National #, moving them to the Daughters page and removing them from the DAR page.
Descendants should be everything that's left after those two groups have been removed. After everyone is moved, I plan to sift back through them to add more information or weed out people who maybe aren't appropriate for any of the groups (undocumented patriots and whatnot) and maybe adding them to the American Revolution project.
If you have any questions or don't know where to start, just ask!! I'm so excited things are going to start getting more organized. :-)
