Hi Jen,
I just ran across your page. I am interested in genealogy too, and started a few years ago on Ancestry.com. What interested me about your page is the fact that Nathaniel Nathan Hilton is an ancestor to me also. I had just typed his name in on the search engine and I eventually got to your site. I live in Augusta, Ga. and saw you live in Savannah. I am originally from Il. Anyway, just wanted to get in touch and say “hello”. I had thought about joining the D.A.R. also, but decided against it in the end.

Hi, Jen! I finally had a chance to check out your blog, and I love it. I’m having a great time going through the DAR process with you. I’m so glad we found each other!! -wen

I am starting with “First Families of Pennsylvania”. I understand that I can use the same paperwork for DAR

I will! I have a feeling that this process is going to take up quite a bit of my genealogical time.

I have to give them a copy of my marriage certificate also. Maybe it’s to verify my married name? Not sure about that one either.
I haven’t heard of the Descendants of the Founders of Ancient Windsor. It sounds pretty cool though!!

I haven’t started the DAR process yet, but I wish you good luck. Keep us updated on how it goes.

I haven’t found my DAR ancestor yet, but I did join the DFAW – Descendants of the Founders of Ancient Windsor (CT). Getting all the paperwork together was a chore, but still fun. I was worried when I could not find a birth certificate for my father (he was born at home in Chicago in 1906 and certification not necessary). However, his name appeared on the federal census in 1910 and that was enough. The one thing that I could not figure out was why they needed MY marriage certificate! Maybe so that the paperwork would be in hand should any of my children decided to join???
