Leaving a Legacy:
Documenting the Descendants of Your
Revolutionary War Patriot |
| |
Click here to view this
presentation. Most women have
absolutely no idea that they are eligible to join the DAR.
The purpose of this workshop is to create a big neon sign
that tells our distant cousins that they are eligible.
This presentation teaches participants how to create an Ancestry.com public tree that documents the children,
grandchildren, great-grandchildren, gg-grandchildren etc. of
their patriots as far down as possible to descendants who
died as recently as 1960 - present. A critical aspect of
this project is marking each direct descendant with the
appropriate designation by typing it in parentheses after
the surname: (Son of DAR Patriot), (Granddaughter of DAR
Patriot), (Great-Granddaughter of DAR Patriot), (GG-Grandson
of DAR Patriot), (GGG-Grandson of DAR Patriot) etc.
