[Genealib] Re: DAR and other lineage society

  I did not mean to spark this thread but it has been interesting.
   
  My grandmother, great aunt, and great grandmother were DAR
  members starting in the 1930's. My mother was in the C.A.R.
  during the 1940's. It is possible that the documentation was
  incomplete; thus the having to reprove the documentation. I do
  know that in doing my genealogy some of the female lines have me
  at a brick wall.
  My mother is no longer interested in joining; and at this point
  in my life I am too busy with other interests so have not pursued
  it.

    I have been following this discussion and want to clarify a few
    things.  It is not true that you can't link to an approved
    application for DAR and other lineage societies.  The problem
    is that many of the applications approved prior to about 1985
    or later contained no documentation.  The application was
    approved on a notorized statement from the applicatant that all
    the data was correct.  Many of these older applications
    contained incorrect information and that is the reason for the
    requirement now that older applications must be redocumented if
    you wish to link to them.
     
    If it is a well documented application, there is no problem
    linking to it and then not needing to provide the documentation
    that is already on file with the organization.
     
    C.A.R. and DAR (notice forrect placement of periods!) have
    similar requirements.  I can't speak for SAR but if the
    documents are provided copies could be obtained.  I don't think
    DAR will allow linking to a SAR application.

    There is only ONE complete, up-to-date SSDI site online
    &
    GenealogyBank just made it free to everyone.

    It is the best SSDI site on the planet.
    Period.

    Search it at: http://www.genealogybank.com/gbnk/ssdi.html

    Book mark it; link to it; use it.
    It's all yours.

    It is the ONLY SSDI site updated weekly.

    GenealogyBank is celebrating two birthdays - Ida May Fuller's
    134th
    birthday - she was born 6 Sep 1874 and died at age 100 in 1975.
    She
    was America's first Social Security recipient. ..... And we are
    also
    getting a head start on GenealogyBank's birthday - on Oct 18th
    we will
    celebrate our 2nd Anniversary.

    So - to celebrate GenealogyBank has made - the best SSDI site
    on the
    planet - free to all researchers.

    There are a number of societies that focus on research in the
    U.K. Some
    may organize trips.

    Here's a list of some societies from Cyndi's List (not all are
    U.S.-based) - http://www.cyndislist.com/genuk.htm#Societies

    The three most prominent U.S.-based societies IMHO are:
    ISBGFH - Int'l Soc for British Gen & Fam Hist -
    http://www.isbgfh.org/
    BIGWILL - British Interest Grp of WI and IL -
    http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wiilbig/
    BIFHSUSA - British Isles Family Hist Soc - U.S.A. -
    http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~bifhsusa/

    Dear all,

    I wonder if anyone could help me. I am currently undertaking
    doctoral
    research into the history of genealogical research at Glasgow

    American
    genealogical research and its links with British archives.

    Can anyone recommend any sources where I can find out more
    about:

    a) the history of American genealogical research in general

    b) the history of Goodspeed publishing company

    c) any Americans that have particularly contributed to British
    genealogical research

    I would also be interested if anyone regularly directs patrons
    to
    British archives and/or if anyone knows of any local groups
    that
    organize trips to visit British archives

    I would
    be grateful if you could reply off list to:

    This is the Social
    Security Administration's explanation of what
    records are in the SSDI. (From
    http://www.ssa.gov/history/hfaq.html)

    "The Death Index contains a listing of persons who had a Social
    Security number, who are deceased, and whose death was reported
    to the Social Security Administration. (The information in the
    Death Index for people who died prior to 1962 is sketchy since
    SSA's death information was not automated before that date.
    Death information for persons who died before 1962 is generally
    only in the Death Index if the death was actually reported to
    SSA after 1962, even though the death occurred prior to that
    year.)"

    Hi:

    Actually DAR and SAR requirements are NOT THE
    SAME.? Often time in SAR you are allowed to join on your Father
    or Grandfather?? but in DAR you must re-prove each Step..
    Record copies of SAR application that have been approved are
    usually questioned and not accepted by the DAR? in these later
    years.. It is still the wiser decision to contact the National
    Organizations eac.. individually? www.SAR.ORG? for the updated
    versions. Steve

    I am a DAR member and have been Registrar for my chapter,
    having helped
    oodles of ladies complete their applications.  I have also
    attended a
    week long, intensive training session at DAR on the
    requirements for
    completing applications and conduct workshops on how to join
    DAR.

    You do not have to re-prove generations that have already been
    documented.  You can just refer to the DAR National number of
    the person
    that you are related to and that will suffice for
    documentation.  I

    It is true that DAR will not accept SAR applications as
    documentation.

    Hi:

    Actually DAR and SAR requirements are NOT THE SAME.  Often time
    in SAR
    you are allowed to join on your Father or Grandfather  but in
    DAR you
    must re-prove each Step.. Record copies of SAR application that
    have
    been approved are usually questioned and not accepted by the
    DAR  in
    these later years.. It is still the wiser decision to contact
    the
    National Organizations eac.. individually  www.SAR.ORG  for the
    updated
    versions. Steve

    Wanda, I don't have handouts, but I normally refer potential
    members to
    the local DAR chapter and give them the excellent DAR web site
    because
    the Society has specific procedures and requirements for
    membership. I
    haven't been asked about SAR membership yet.

      Interesting, my mother, who was a CAR
    (Children of the American
      Revolution) was told that she would have to reprove her CAR
      application to become a DAR; even though her mother, aunt,
    and
      grandmother had been members of the DAR and their membership
      numbers were on her application. She was upset about that and
    has
      not attempted to join since and at her age may never do so.
     
      Does this vary by state or chapter?

        I am a DAR member and have been Registrar
        for my chapter, having helped oodles of ladies complete
    their
        applications.  I have also attended a week long, intensive

        session at DAR on the requirements for completing
    applications
        and conduct
        workshops on how to join DAR.

       

        You do not have to re-prove generations
        that have already been documented.  You can just refer to
    the
        DAR National
        number of the person that you are related to and that will
        suffice for
        documentation.  I

       

        It is true that DAR will not accept SAR

    No, this does not vary by state or chapter

    I don't know what year she attempted to join.  Perhaps that
    made a
    difference, but that would not be the case now.  Her CAR
    application,
    however, I believe would not be accepted as documentation.  I'd
    have to
    double check that for sure.

    The Registrar of the Chapter she wanted to join should have
    helped her
    fill out a DAR application using the National Numbers of any
    relative
    where the generations had been proved as documentation.  Other
    generations would have to be documented.
