Interesting old books with only pictures and signatures of British nobility

Cool, Mary Kathleen, we can see what those old folks looked like.

Haven't looked extensively but this seems pretty good:

We started building this site about 12 years ago mainly around our own family tree interests, namely UK genealogy, but especially the West Country (Devon, Dorset, Somerset, Cornwall, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire). If this is not your cup-of-tea then please do not be put off yet as we are sure there will be something of interest to everyone with regard to their English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish ancestry - if not then please tell us!. We have information for most counties online, and if not it will be coming soon...

That's a great announcement, Brendan.

I was able to get jpg files of my grandfather's and father's draft cards from ancestry.com. My father was so tickled.

They don't have anything for me. What? Desert storm wasn't good enough to be included?

LOL. No, it's probably privacy settings from the US Gov. You're just too young to be included in public records. Let's not tell my father that he's old though (he's 85).

Hey Brendan.... Thank you for serving. We all appreciate you.
hugs.

Yes, thank you, Brendan, and all servicemen and veterans the world around, living and dead, who fought for freedom and liberty for all.

Lists accused witches, dates, location and outcomes. Lower on the page is a section called "Misidentified, Unconfirmed, and “Phantom” Witches," a list of people who appear on various lists of Colonial American witches, but a closer review of current literature suggests that there is no proof that formal charges were ever filed against them.

Ancestor search:

The Ancestor Database contains the names of Revolutionary War Patriots whose service and identity have been established by the NSDAR. Included is information on the dates and places of birth and death, names of spouses, residence during the Revolution, rank and type of service, and the state where the patriot served.

The Ancestor Database also includes some previously established patriots whose lines are currently closed to new members. The lines were closed because it was subsequently determined that the person could not have performed the service attributed to them. These persons are displayed with the notice “Future Applicants must prove correct service” or “Ancestor and/or lineage in error”.

EH -- Would you class DAR as primary source?

Applications for DAR membership have to include primary resources to prove they were descendents of Rev. War. veterans. I ordered the records from 1925 of a cousin who applied for membership using my 4th great-grandfather's service (her great-grandfather). It provided a wealth of information on not only him, but also his family.

MEZ,

I would consider the DAR Ancestor # to be the appropriate reference to the primary source documents collected in the DAR register (that you need to pay for). So no, not a primary source.

In fact, DAR is verification of ancestry, so not sure you could consider *their* validation a primary source either. The primary sources for a Revolutionary War ancestor would be images of his pension records, muster rosters, original affidavits, land grants for service, etc.

Heritage Quest has a "Revolutionary War" section that includes many actual images of pension applications, usually about 6 pages each. The applications contain the stories of veterans' service in detail. Heritage Quest is available for free at many libraries.

One of my distant cousins is DAR. It is her research that got my cousin started on genealogy. And then my first cousin tracked me down and got me started. What I find interesting in your original post about the DAR is that they annotate their own records when lineage is disputed.

Search for burial locations of veterans and their family members in Veterans Association National Cemeteries, state veterans cemeteries, various other military and Department of Interior cemeteries, and for veterans buried in private cemeteries when the grave is marked with a government grave marker.

The Nationwide Gravesite Locator includes burial records from many sources. These sources provide varied data; some searches may contain less information than others. Information on veterans buried in private cemeteries was collected for the purpose of furnishing government grave markers, and we do not have information available for burials prior to 1997.
