Merry Christmas! DAR and Letters

I visited my grandmother a few days before Christmas and she gave me a letter and two sets of Daughters of the American Revolution documents to keep. The letter was one her own grandmother wrote to her right before she got married. It details our family tree back multiple generations and confirms much of the research I have done on my own. I even learned a few middle names that I never would have uncovered otherwise.

The DAR applications she gave me were her own and her mother’s. I’m not sure if they will be helpful in straightening out the DAR issue I wrote about here, but either way it is neat to have copies of them.

Also, I mentioned that I received my 23andMe testing kit a few days ago! I will make an entry specifically about that when I have some free time in the next few days.
