February 28 Meeting:

I want to thank Brenda Larsen for the excellent presentation/discussion that she lead on "Lineage Societies" and the use of the "DAR Database" for doing research.  Please see links below for additional websites on the subject.  Then we had a brief overview of "Researching Your Revolutionary War Ancestors".  This short overview covered the time periods of the war and what/where documents can be found to help with your genealogical research.  We reviewed the three types of records (1) Compiled Service Records, (2) Pensions and (3) Bounty Land Records.
