Let me know the name. If he's in the Patriot Index, then you can go to the
www.dar.org website, and obtain Record Copies of the ladies who have claimed him as their ancestor. You may find a long lost aunt or grandmother! Then, you will need to prove how you connect to the aunt or grandmother or whomever through birth, death, census, tax, court, and/or marriage records.
My mama & I had to prove a new Patriot - someone that had served, but no one had used them to go DAR before. That was a bit harder! (she says, laughing semi-hysterically!)
