<DavidWoodetc> 

Hmmm... that's about the size of Alabama in those counties alone isn't it?

<MizB> 

David if you run across any Teels in Van Zandt Co. They are mine

<Granny> 

Jerry, no I don't, but just type DAR in the subject field and then go to the site that says National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. It's easy to find the place to post your query.

<DavidWoodetc> 

have you seen the VZ Co website?

<JerryS> 

ok thanks I have someone using hem for lots of sources

<CyberLemon> 

David my request would be very specific to the Houston area

<JerryS> 

I need to check out the sources myself

<DavidWoodetc>

<evy> 

Any one have any CHISM'S in your line?

<CyberLemon> 

ooops, never mind then

<MizB> 

I think I did several yrs ago but hadn't thought to check it out lately

<Granny> 

Jerry, you can send to the DAR for records for $5 per name. I think what you get is the application that the person who got in under that name filled out.

<Vickyal_124> 

no sorry

<Granny> 

evy, sorry, I don't have that name.

<DavidWoodetc> 

For Van Zandt this has a lot of links to a LOT of info, and it's close to me. http://www.rootsweb.com/~txvzcgs/vzgs.htm

<MizB> 

the name doesn't ring any bells evy and all my genealogy books are already packed for the move to Omaha

<marfa> 

You can ask the DAR if a certain person has been used for joining DAR and they will tell you

most of my data can be seen at my website http://members.aol.com/JerryS4605/index.htm

<evy> 

My gr. grandfather was JESSE L. CHISM, died in Houston Co. TX. 1921, can not find any info on him

<Granny> 

marfa, that works really well. I've gotten several replies from them. I have nine patriots that I know of, but still lack at least one documentation on all of them to get in, so I'm still a provisional member.

<MizB> 

Thanks David I added it to my favorites will check it out later

<Granny> 

evy, have you sent for his death certificate?

<marfa> 

I have belonged to the DAR a little over a year

<Granny> 

Congratulations marfa! It takes a lot of work and documentation to get in!

<evy> 

They said they didn't start keeping them until late 1920', early 30's

<DavidWoodetc> 

Then when you find some specifics, I'll go chase em down for you.
