• Speaking of DAR and research, last year DAR began publishing source guides for those doing research for their lineage applications, and they kicked it off with New York in the American Revolution, and now they have South Carolina in the American Revolution available in their online store in print and PDF download for both states. Great guides for researching in that time period and locations even if you have no plans to apply for membership.
