Re: Adam Skain
Hello Beverly,
Since you already know you have a Patriot Ancestor- Adam Skain the biggest job is done. You should send an get a record copy of that DAR application and you can also list the child of the Patriot. If anyone has joined that way, they will send you that paper.
If you will send me your full name and mailing address, phone number, I will send it to a Chapter near you. Don;t post it on the message board.
Once you’ve found a chapter, you will begin the application process. You will need to provide proof for each date and place, for each generation, starting with yourself and going back lineally to your Patriot. In the first three generations, these proofs would consist of photocopies of birth, marriage, and death documents. For other generations back to the Patriot, one or more of the following items would usually be considered acceptable proof: cemetery records, tombstone inscriptions, obituaries, probate records, wills, census records, Bible records, local histories, and well-documented genealogies. Relationships between generations MUST be proven. Data submitted as proof is subject to DAR standards and interpretation. You do not need to complete an application worksheet before attending a chapter meeting. By attending a local chapter meeting, you will meet DAR members who have the experience to assist you in obtaining your goal of DAR membership.
If you have any other questions ... let me know. This is short reply as I am going to DAR for our 117th Continental Congress next week.
