Got a surprise today [View all]

I occasionally poke at the family tree. A relative sent one my way a while back to have me fill in some data. Have lost touch with him. My late wife's uncle dug up all the paperwork to join the Sons of the American revolution. Unfortunately he ended up with dementia and his records were lost some where. That makes my daughter eligible for DAR status should we have any interest. One point of interest is that my daughter is related to Harriet Beecher Stowe.
My current wife is potentially related to General Horatio Gates who was with George Washington.
Today I got a notification from the LDS people about new information added. In it was some data from ancestors in the tree. It turns out that a few were in the Revolutionary war. One died on a prison ship.
Exactly how accurate some of the data is, there is a glossary of sources in the article expounding on this, remains to be seen.
But my daughter could be a DAR from both sides of her parentage.
Who knew this Canadian could be a SAR.
