Egads I thought you were saying DAR played Bingo at meetings
I knew you must have eligible ancestors as yours came in same time as mine
only mine came into Bedford County PA.
I always appreciate your sense of humor

> Well for once I struck the big dong personally! One of my ancestor's
lineages is in the DAR and not flagged (as bogus). I was (of course) sure
that the man in New York was the same as my ancestor in PA, but proving it
is another matter. Possibly someone has, or, when they look at the lineage,
the DAR will flag it. I guess I can order the paper work and check it out.
My sister's mother in law wants her to join the DAR. (Family is English:
Frisbee)

> My ancestor is Frances Beatty of Newburgh area, New York, who later
settled on the northern bank of the Allegheny in western Pennsylvania. His
children intermarried with the descendents of the brother of the Rev. John
Black (first Reformed Presbyterian minister to settle in the Pittsburgh
area). Frances is a nephew of an early RP missionary in the area. They came
from Ulster in 1729.

> Anyway, I hate mentioning this surname as it inevitably brings about a
flock of emails informing me of several Beatty projects. Yes, I know about
those projects and I am not interested in joining them so don't send
missionaries. My connection is on the female line and I got no Y DNA to
donate either. Everything I know about them I found out myself (have been
accused of 'stealing' information from Beatty projects I am not a member
of....no.....not even with my secret Brain Wave Vacuuming System, I just
know a little about genealogy....)

are not Scotch Irish......Ask me about "Uncle Adolph" sometime.
EEEEeeeeek!!!!!!! [Runs screaming from room]
