- I contacted the DAR a year or two ago looking for more information on
- an ancestor (Peter Hall) whose grave was marked by them many years
- ago. They replied that they had no information on him (though I found
- a reference to the grave in one of their publications) and that no one
- had ever joined the DAR based on that individual. My impression was
- that local chapters sometimes place these markers if they feel they
- have sufficient evidence to do so, but not necessarily because any of
- their members are related to the veteran.
