Mine are all in NYS, which isn't as open when it comes to vital records. And they're $22 each.

That's what I'm lacking as well.

Going through this experience will help me be a better genealogist, which benefits my clients as well. #genealogy #DAR #revolutionarywar #MayflowerSociety

An added benefit of gathering all the docs I need for my DAR application is that I can use most of them for my Mayflower Society application as well. My maternal grandfather’s mother’s roots run deep in the U.S. #genealogy #revolutionarywar #DAR #MayflowerSociety

I'm working on my DAR application with my local chapter's registrar. I've been wanting to do this for years, but now I have to prove one grandfather’s service because no one has claimed him since 1910. I feel like I'm walking into unfamiliar territory. Exciting! #genealogy #revolutionarywar

I'm sure it will be.

GRCOA. They had the date she was placed, plus her mother took her out a couple of times before placing her the final time in 1920. It took me some time to figure out they even had the revotfd, but they were very helpful.

Very cool resource! I was able to obtain my grandmother's records through Catholic Charities. I do love the research guides from the library.
